The Voice of Louisiana Agriculture Radio Network has a long history in the state of Louisiana.  Our network has been in existence for 40 years, beginning as the Louisiana Agri-News Network in 1976.  Louisiana Farm Bureau's Regnal Wallace was the founding farm broadcaster on the network.  He was joined in 1987 by Senior Farm Broadcaster, Don Molino.  

We produce a variety of programs that air at the times when farmers need them, with market news, analysis and the latest events in agriculture.
