As of 2019, there are 2.6 million farmers and ranchers across the United States who work day in and day out producing food that individuals from across the world consume every day[1]. Some are dairy farmers, others are ranchers, and some grow corn. However, they all have one thing in common; they all rely on farm broadcasting services to receive vital and local information that helps keep their operations running smoothly.

Most agricultural laborers (a person who performs physical work in fields and on farms) don’t use or even have desks.
