Farm and Ranch Media has announced it will expand its radio lineup with a weekend edition of its syndicated talk program, "Agriculture of America" (AOA), beginning May 1.

The new "AOA: Weekend Edition" builds on the weekday show, which launched in 2018 and is now heard on more than 70 affiliate stations as well as SiriusXM Rural Radio 147. Hosted by Jesse Allen since 2023, the program features interviews with agricultural leaders, policymakers, analysts and industry newsmakers.

Allen, who also serves as Vice President of National Ag Content for Farm and Ranch Media, said the expansion reflects continued demand for timely information across the agriculture sector and an effort to broaden the show's reach.

The weekend edition will offer stations flexible scheduling on Saturdays or Sundays and will include similar content focused on news and issues affecting farmers and ranchers. Episodes will also be available as a podcast on major streaming platforms and through the FARM Mobile App.

Farm and Ranch Media President and CEO Lance Knudson said the move underscores the company's commitment to providing content for affiliate partners as the media landscape evolves, adding that the new offering will further extend the show's role in delivering agricultural news and storytelling.
