To make public and implement the fulfillment of its purposes, the SNA began publishing his newsletter, called A lavoura. The time analyzed covers the years between 1897 and 1926, during which the SNA defended the application of science in agriculture, introduced a bill creating the Ministério da Agricultura, Indústria e Comércio and advocated a rational exploration of natural resources.
