I'll guaranty you that it was not the Magazine publisher how financed the ad, typically the person who is advertising the product will pay for ads.

Now as to if Bayer is making a mistake here, I would say no. When you think about it the modern farmer is a very lucrative target market. They make their own buying decisions, most of their expenses are in consumables (Pesticides being a major one) and capital (vs labour as in most other industries) and like all business owners are always willing to buy a product capable of increasing yield.

Bayer also gets a very high yield per ad unit, after all how many people do you know subscribe to farming magazines without owning a farm? This isn't your average magazine where most units will sit on shelfs until being sent back to the publisher.

What, you think cities are Dell servers provisioned with spare expansion slots? The Cities was designed fine so long as you have a car. Besides who are you to know if the city is growing to fast, you don't even live here! Oh wait sorry, I forgot about your potty mouth, I suppose you live in forest-lawn then?

Another Calgarian here, we have no large bodies of water nearby so our summers are silly hot and our winters are true Canadian cold. Half the year everything is covered in snow the other half you'll be sweating like a dog. To top it all off the city was designed for cars, it's all suburbs right up to the down town core. Sure you could make it on a bike but it would be a lot harder than it should be. PS: While 1 hour to the university from the south is accurate its not THAT much long than what the high schoolers spend on the bus.
