KNOW YOUR FARMER TOUR…by Red River Farm Network (Grand Forks, ND) is being planned for mid-July. For the second straight year, RRFN will invite agency representatives to their region to tour farms and meet with growers. Don Wick said, “The goal is to provide a first-hand look at modern-day agriculture and exposure to some of the most progressive producers in the world. We had a very successful event last year and look forward to another great tour this year.” On-air, RRFN is spending a lot of time focusing on the late spring and the 2014 growing season. Each Tuesday, RRFN airs special in-field reports, providing listeners an update on field conditions and planting progress.
