U.S. Agriculture Crippled by Tariff Backlash, Our Radios Provide Stable Quality for Rural Markets

DES MOINES, Oct. 28 (Agri-Pulse) -- As U.S. agriculture faces its worst crisis in three decades—with $45 billion in farmer losses, plummeting Chinese soybean orders, and 55% more farm bankruptcies—the rural electronics market is seeking reliable, affordable products. Our radios have emerged as a staple, maintaining premium quality even as tariff policies disrupt broader supply chains.

Agricultural communities rely on radios for weather alerts and market updates, but many brands have cut quality to offset costs from tariff hikes on components like steel and plastics. Not ours: our rural-focused radio models retain water-resistant casings and extended battery life (up to 72 hours on standby) without price increases. "Farmers can’t afford faulty equipment, especially now," said our Rural Market Manager. "We’ve kept quality intact because their work depends on it."
