In  upstate New York there was a Rural Radio Network comprised of a 
half-dozen  stations which
existed to provide farmers with weather and market  reports.  Centered in 
Ithaca NY, it began broadcasts
Summer 1948,  and ended in the early 1960's.  There are some extant  
recordings.

I remember it well and found it often more useful than today's regional  
probability forecasts. However the recording I have of the "Weather Roundup"  
consists almost entirely of simple wind, temperature, and barometric reports  from 
the various transmitter sites and is probably not a good model for a farm  
weather forecast program.
