Ag Media Research (AMR), Sioux Falls, SD, recently completed a study of electronic media consumption trends of 1,003 Class 1plus farmers across the 12 Corn Belt states. The study was commissioned by the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB), Platte City, MO. Some of the key findings showed that producers with gross farm income at or above $250,000 are the heaviest consumers of information, and are the most likely to listen to farm radio for news and markets reports. In fact, 78 percent used farm radio daily. One-third of the same group has three or more decision-makers on their operation. Full details of the new 2006 AMR research are available online at www.nafb.com. Or contact NAFB member services mgr Jeremy Povenmire at jeremy@nafb.com. Tweet |
