Agriculture Industry’s Best Motorola VHF Two Way Radios
Canada is one of the largest agricultural producers and exporters in the world. And with over 205,730 farms at an average size of 778 acres, the Canadian agricultural and agri-food system sector rely on two way radios to connect the 2.1 million people it employs directly and indirectly – from sharing real-time information in the fields, to improving productivity and efficiency when it comes to processing and distributing crops.
Agricultural Communication Demands
The agricultural industry in Canada is a highly complex, internationally competitive part of the Canadian economy. Yet, some things about agriculture remain constant – the farmer, by the nature of their occupation, must spend much of the time on site in a rural and remote setting – at times for up to 14 or more hours a day.
At the same time, it is vital that the farmer communicate and coordinate with other operators, markets and weather reports. Long range and dependable communications in a two way radio is essential.
