In its 13 July 2011 issue, The Silo featured King Letsie III, presenting the interview as a special edition for the King's birthday celebrations, a public holiday duly observed each year in Lesotho.[1][2]

As the only agricultural newspaper in the country,[3][failed verification] The Silo follows in the foot-steps of its predecessors in neighboring South Africa, Farmers Weekly, in that its content is restricted to farming, environmental and agricultural news only.
