Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Agriculture remains a critical sector in many rural areas in Nigeria, where the majority of the population relies on farming as their primary livelihood. In Bali Local Government Area, Taraba State, where farming is the backbone of the local economy, community radio has proven to be a valuable tool for disseminating agricultural information. By providing timely and relevant information on farming techniques, crop management, and weather patterns, community radio stations play a crucial role in improving crop yields. This study aims to examine how community radio in Bali LGA has contributed to enhancing crop yield through information dissemination, exploring the effectiveness of agricultural programs and their reach among local farmers.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While there is a growing recognition of the importance of information dissemination for agricultural development, there is a lack of empirical research on the role of community radio in enhancing crop yield in specific regions like Bali LGA. Farmers in the area face challenges such as poor access to modern farming techniques, unreliable weather information, and inadequate market knowledge. Although community radio has the potential to address these challenges, its reach and impact on crop yield enhancement are not well understood. This study seeks to fill this gap by assessing the contribution of community radio in improving agricultural practices and increasing crop productivity in Bali.

1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the role of community radio in agricultural development, offering a model for other rural areas to improve crop productivity through information dissemination. The findings will be useful for policymakers, agricultural extension services, and community radio stations aiming to enhance the livelihoods of farmers in Bali and similar regions.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on Bali Local Government Area, Taraba State, and examines the role of community radio in enhancing crop yield through information dissemination. The study is limited to the assessment of community radio programs and does not address other forms of agricultural information dissemination.
