Abstract
This study analyzed farmers’ perceptions of the contribution of farm-radio broadcasts to yam production. Data collected from 200 randomly selected farmers in Benue State, Nigeria using a structured questionnaire showed that 94.0% considered hours of broadcasts (8 a.m., 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 7 p.m.) suitable, 98.5% were satisfied with the language of broadcasts, 97.5% found the contents adequate, and 88.5% utilized the messages. The paired sample t test showed significant differences between yield of yams before and after listening to radio (p < .01), indicating farm-radio broadcasts’ contribution to productivity. It is recommended that farm-radio broadcasts be intensified and sustained to enhance output and food security.
