First national broadcast of prices for farmers 20 February 1925

The week of 20th of February 1925 saw the announcement of new national radio services which were intended to be of interest to rural workers but came to be enjoyed by general listeners as part of the radio landscape. There was a new morning weather forecast, but more importantly a weekly summary - prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture - of farm produce prices in the home markets. These were introduced as a useful civic service for a section of the audience.
