Data related to the research questions were analysed using frequency tables and percentages. The findings of the study revealed that the major procedure through which the rural farmers utilized mobile phones to access agricultural information was through Short Text Message Service (SMS), majority of the rural farmersused mobile phones to access and utilize agricultural information monthly and occasionally, information about herbicide control was the major type of agricultural information accessed through mobile phone, majority of the rural farmers utilized information about pest and disease control as well as information about livestock management annually, and inability to access formal channel of information was the major challenge to the rural farmers encountered with regards to the utilization of mobile phones for agricultural information access and use.
