Welcome again to the WESTERN
AGRI-RADIO NETWORKS INC®. We would like to also welcome
those folks who have visited my networks in the past. Our headquarters are
located in the
beautiful southwest deserts of
Yuma County, Arizona. A place
that is well known to the world of agriculture. Located 180 miles east of San
Diego, 180 miles West of Phoenix, and 180 miles South of Las Vegas, we are
bordered on the Colorado River, Old Mexico, and California. We receive 3.8
inches of average rainfall annually, and rely totally on irrigation to raise our
agricultural commodities. We are proof that agriculture in the Western United States does not end at
Denver, Colorado, El Paso, Texas, and the Black Hills of the Dakotas.
