Not sure if he's a fan of his neighboring state, but Nebraska Life is a really cool magazine also....Great colored pictures and lots of stories about the small towns in the state....$21 for a year (bi-monthly).

Everyone likes it at the bank....

Depending on your price range:  Small portable weather station (every farmer, regardless of age, keeps up to date on the weather!)
                                                Any book by James P Owens Examples include "The Try", "Cowboy Ethics", or "Cowboy Values" (I would recommend those for ANY age, ANY career!)

The John Deere magazines with the old tractors, you see them here at the TSC stores.  Antique farming also.

time-life books will have quite a collection of books with old memory stories that he may enjoy. For example, Outhouses & Privies.
