These news features cover a wide variety of topics in agriculture and home economics, and are intended for the general public as the listening audience. Report topics include food safety, environmental issues, weather, crop projections and reports, and health issues. Each week, the Office of Communications sends out audio recordings of these reports to media outlets throughout the United States for local broadcast.
