This paper examines the effect of the multilingual farm broadcast on the access to agricultural information in Nigeria. Farm broadcast programmes on radio and television were compiled and the language of presentation examined for each of the programme. The diversity of the languages in Nigeria presupposes that for farmers to have access to agricultural information through the radio and television, the language of presentation has to be based on that of the listeners. The study recommends that information sources to farmers should explore multilingual sources to ensure farmers’ access to agricultural information.
