His cash farm income in 1948 was $8,200 (average). In the aggregate this makes WOW-land . . . A $2.6 BILLION DOLLAR FARM MARKET . . . OR . . . nearly 10 per cent of ALL the 1948 cash farm income in the U.S.A. This is not a new situation. The past ten years have been the biggest farm income years in WOW-land history. And there are 317,000 farms in the area served by WOW — 32 c'c of all farms in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota. The $8,200 average cash income figure is conservative, because WOW-land includes the better-than-average farm areas in the states it serves. A recent rural survey gives WOW a 34% share of audience at points 65 to 100 miles from Omaha. It is the ONLY advertising medium that covers ALL this area.
