For what it's worth,  download Broadcast-Based Distance Learning Systems (Flor, 1995) from academia.edu. It covers farmers'schools on-the-air, radio forums and instructional broadcasts.

For many years in rural America, the primary rule of farm broadcasting was to help farmers stay current on farm commodity prices, i.e. futures prices, so they could decide when to sell stored grain, and to stay in touch with livestock auctions in the region.

Today, the Internet provides many other ways to track commodity prices.  

I have not researched this area, but I am a former broadcast who is now a higher education media teacher.  

Interesting topic. That would be a fantastic topic for developing countries where more than 80% farmers live in rural areas and get limited market and technological information.

you can do it by measuring important variables in the study area. There are two methods;(1) with and without (2) before and after.
