The Silo is a fortnightly agricultural newspaper printed and distributed in Lesotho. The paper mainly publishes environmental and agricultural news in and around the country.
In its 13 July 2011 issue, The Silo featured King Letsie III, presenting the interview as a special edition for His Majesty's July birthday celebrations, a public holiday duly observed each year in Lesotho.[1][2]
Being the only agricultural newspaper in the country,[3] The Silo seems to follow foot-steps of their predecessors in neighboring South Africa, Farmers Weekly, in that its content (like Farmers Weekly's) is restricted to farming, environmental and agricultural news only.
