Rural Missouri is a monthly consumer-oriented general interest publication reaching over one million readers every month. Its circulation covers rural, small town and suburban areas – the areas where population is growing. Rural Missouri is published 12 times a year and serves as the official publication of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.
Our 62 years of experience and a circulation more than 540,000 have proven Rural Missouri sells.
Rural Missouri readers generally own their own homes and live in rural communities and small towns. Their interest in the publication is evident from their response to its news articles, features and advertisements. They read it, respect it, and they trust it. As a result, they feel comfortable patronizing its advertisers. All of this makes Rural Missouri the best vehicle for reaching Missouri’s family audience.
We also have advertisement space available for this website and our new digital edition.
