“I believe AgNet West is a valuable part of KPAY’s programing, simply because as people understand a little better some of the intricacies of farming and what it means to the local community and the benefits that we all derive from it. It’s great that they carry that programming and share the farming news with the public who would not otherwise hear much about it, unless it was delivered right to their door.”
