Agriculture

Two way radios are becoming an increasingly important tool in agriculture. Whether used on a farm, dairy, orchard, vineyard or ranch, radios are vital to reliable AG communications.

There's no doubt that good communication is the key for the success of any farm or ranch, but that can be a challenge. Large commercial farms can cover quite an expanse of land, and even a very small family farm can be spread across many acres. Since many farms are located in rural areas, cell phone coverage can be spotty, or almost nonexistent. Most cell phones don't have the ruggedness required to take the rigors of the day-to-day duties. Then there are the monthly fees.

Two way radios are the simple and obvious solution. They not only save time and money on the overall cost of communications, they are more durable, rugged and reliable in the field. Plus, they are easy to incorporate and use. Handhelds can be carried on the hip, mobiles mounted on the tractor, and base stations can be set up in farmhouses or barns with ease.

What is the best type of radio for a farm? GMRS and FRS radios, such as the Wouxun models, are ideal for smaller, or family operations. Large commercial farms may be better served by business radios, such as are provided by Icom or Motorola.
