News, information, and market trends for farmers
Producer, Archie MacPhee
Today the early morning Market Report for farmers is replaced by Farm Bulletin, which will be on the air for ten minutes every morning of the week, except Sunday. It will provide farmers and all those connected with the agricultural industry with a daily programme of news, information, and market trends of their own.
Market Report, which has provided a daily service for farmers since the reintroduction of free agricultural marketing in 1954, has been extended and incorporated in Farm Bulletin. Although this new programme could be described as a specialist service for farmers, it may also be of interest to general listeners.
