SC Market Bulletin Policies

 1. Only ads pertaining to agricultural products and items used in actual growth, harvesting, and disposal of such
     agricultural  products are published. 

 2. Only one ad per household per category is allowed. 

 3. One ad per category up to 4 different categories per household.

 4. Only ads with South Carolina addresses are accepted. Ads from out-of-state are NOT permitted. 

 5. The advertiser’s complete name, address, zip code, and phone number with area code are required for each 
     ad submitted. However, only the advertiser’s name, county, and phone number are listed in the ad. 

 6. A county listing is required in order for the ad to be accepted for publication.

 7. Ads may be submitted directly at the SCDA web site. Visit www.agriculture.sc.gov, look for Market Bulletin, 
     select “post an ad”, and follow the instructions. 

 8. Ads will be published only one time. To be repeated in another issue, ads must be resubmitted 
     before each issue’s deadline with all the required information. The deadline date can be found in the top right hand 
     corner of the front page under the Market Bulletin header. 

 9. “For Sale” ads must include a price.

10. No sealed bids or legal notices for sale will be printed. Notices will not be published for consignment sales.

11. Each ad is limited to 25 words plus name and address. (Hint: Every 6 characters, which includes letters of 
     the alphabet, spaces, and punctuation marks, is considered a word. So, 25 words equals about 150 characters.)

12. Ads are NOT accepted from commercial entities including but not limited to dealers, merchants or representatives of 
     commercial establishments, including real estate agents,unless the property in the ad is personally owned by such 
     person. Persons who have business licenses to sell agricultural and non-agricultural items are not eligible 
     to advertise. U.S. Post Office regulations prohibit the publication of commercial ads because of periodical 
     postage privileges.

13. The Market Bulletin does NOT accept responsibility for ads appearing in the publication. Ads are received in 
     good faith. Notifying the Market Bulletin of evidence of bad faith on the part of any advertiser would be appreciated. 

14. The Market Bulletin reserves the right to edit and/or verify any and all ads or notices submitted for publication.

15. Special Rules for specific advertising categories:
