Farm Radio ListenershipWave Comparison
Consistently, from season to season, farm radio is a leading source of farm news, information, markets and weather.
We sometimes forget how much time farmers spend
waiting in their vehicle. Here is a man listening to farm radio while he waits in line at the
elevator, Notice the number of trucks behind him, and he’s
not at the front of the line yet.

Fall Wave Farm Radio Listenership
• Radio listening is a family affair, done together or alone, many times in a vehicle, depending upon the circumstances.
My husband, the brains behind our farming operation.
Only me in my car on the way to work. I listen to a daily ag news program each day on my 40 minute commute to work. If I'm home or farming, I try to catch the program in the kitchen of our house with my wife.
No one. My husband is working on the farm during the day when I am in the car.
