Farm Broadcasting Maintains High Listenership with U.S. Farmers and Ranchers

Farm broadcasting has been a constant in the daily lives of farmers and ranchers for more than 75 years and continues to prove its worth in delivering live, local and current agricultural news today. Recent research conducted by the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB), found 88 percent of farmers in the U.S. listen to farm broadcasting three or more days per week. Farm radio continues to connect with the agricultural community daily, providing key knowledge on the day’s biggest ag news. 

Farm Radio Connects With U.S. Farmers and Ranchers

Farming is a 24/7 job. Working from sunup to sundown, farmers rely on multiple forms of communications to keep them informed, and up-to-date with the industry. Farm broadcasting is one of the multiple ways farmers, and ranchers stay connected. Radio continues to be widely used by farmers in all age ranges, as they seek out information that matters to their operation.

Farm Radio Connects Research

NAFB releases new industry research highlighting farmers and ranchers farm radio usage. Research was conducted in three waves this year, Wave 1 – February/March, Wave 2 – May/June and Wave 3 September/October. Research findings show farm radio listening is consistent among producers throughout all three waves, and the more days per week a farmer listens, the more minutes per day they listen. In addition to the phone call survey, we also recruited respondents to participate in a mobile diary research, provided daily photos of how they listen to farm radio.
