8 pages., Online via UI Catalog., Authors investigated sources of information used by inhabitants of agricultural villages and rural areas, spanning the period 2012-2018. Findings showed that "interest in new mass media-the Internet grew significantly, whereas their interests in television or radio broadcasts decreased. It has also pointed out that the trend to read daily press and specialized papers increased. Village inhabitants (not a farmer) preferred daily press and journals, whereas farmers chose specialised press."
Author emphasizes the value of farm broadcasters in sharing information about the numerous initiatives supported by the agricultural organizations such as the American Soybean Association.
