The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has prioritized the preservation of AM radio, resolving to support legislation ensuring its inclusion in automobiles during manufacturing. AFBF Vice President Sam Kiefer, highlighting the grassroots origin of the resolution, emphasized the importance of AM radio for rural residents, offering reliable information and safety alerts, especially in areas with unreliable FM and cell services. The policy acknowledges AM radio’s crucial role during emergencies such as tornadoes or hurricanes. Kiefer mentioned that 81% of agricultural workers rely on radio, surpassing other audio options. The resolution aligns with the AFBF’s commitment to rural communities and reflects its dedication to ensuring AM radio remains a priority amidst government regulations or manufacturing trends. The AFBF is actively supporting the AM For Every Vehicle Act, awaiting congressional approval.
