(FARGO, ND) – Farm and Ranch Media has announced that they are adding to their radio lineup with a weekend version of their widely popular weekday talk show, Agriculture of America (AOA). The weekend edition of AOA will be available starting May 1st, 2026.
“There continues to be no shortage of news and information for farmers and ranchers and we are looking to double down on our efforts to bring that information to them through our radio affiliate partners,” according to AOA host and FARM VP of National Ag Content, Jesse Allen. “I am honored that we are able to grow the AOA footprint and expand to include a weekend offering that will continue to tell the story of agriculture, one conversation at a time.”
AOA was started in 2018 by the team at FARM in conjunction with National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) Hall of Fame broadcaster Mike Adams. The show, which features interviews and conversations with agricultural leaders, members of Congress, market analysts, newsmakers and more; has grown into a nationally syndicated radio show heard on over 70 affiliate radio stations and SiriusXM Rural Radio 147 every weekday. Allen has been the host of the show since August 2023.
“As the media landscape continues to change and certain products go away, we remain committed to providing great content to our affiliate radio station partners,” says Lance Knudson, President/CEO of FARM. “Jesse has done an excellent job helping us continue the growth of AOA and this new weekend version of the show will only add to the work we are doing to inform farmers, ranchers and tell the story of agriculture.”
AOA: Weekend Edition will be available for radio stations to air on Saturdays or Sundays, including content with various newsmakers and experts across agriculture. The show will also post as a podcast available via all major streaming platforms and the FARM Mobile App.
