Why Radio?
- Among all media choices, radio is one of the most effective in serving the agricultural community.
- Why? As a consumer group, farmers and ranchers are more likely to be heavy users of radio than any other traditional medium. It is the only medium that shows above average indices for heavy usage. *

- One of the reasons for farmers heavy use of radio is their mobile lifestyle -- whether at work, on the road, or in the fields. For instance, over half (58%) of all farm workers drive over 100 miles each week, and 31% drive over 250 miles. *
- Radio is one of the only media that can go to work with busy farmers, in the truck, on the combine, or in the shop.
