 Mass Media Coverage of Agricultural Information: The Benue State Example.

Following the change in the agriculture policy of Nigeria, which began in the mid 1980, the awareness and adoption of agricultural innovations through functional delivery system depended on the extent to which agricultural innovations were adequately disseminated, received and implemented by the target audience.

This study evaluated mass media (Radio, Television, and Newspaper) coverage of agricultural information in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. Data were collected from 120 respondents who were randomly selected from Makurdi Local Government Area using a structured questionnaire. Objected I to VI were analyzed using descriptive statistics while objective VII was analyzed using Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) and paired sample t- test. The result of the ANOVA test showed that the coverage of agricultural information by the mass media was statistically significant (p<0.05). The relationship between the mass media coverage of agricultural information and farmers’ output as indicated by the t- test were statistically significant (p<0.10). An independent analysis of the three mass media using t- test showed that television (TV) made significant improvement on the farmer’s output after exposures. It was significant at 1%, thus suggesting that TV is an important medium for disseminating agriculture information. Field study revealed that factors such as lack of sponsorships, coverage materials, transport facilities and the illiteracy level of the people were identified as major constraints militating against effective agricultural information dissemination. Also identified is the neglect of agricultural issues in the media. Effective coverage of agricultural information in the state using the mass media can be improved if all the relevant stakeholders in the agricultural sector, place priority on sponsoring and disseminating agricultural information that are of practical importance to the farmers.
