Twenty-five major farm groups have sent a joint letter to Congress in support of the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. In response to a threat from automakers, this bill would require all new vehicles to include AM radio. The letter cites radio’s ability to reach people during times of emergency. Over-the-air radio also provides valuable weather, markets and agricultural information. The groups signing the letter include Farm Bureau, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and commodity groups representing corn, soybeans, wheat, sugarbeets and dairy.
