Premise

This current affairs program was produced as separate regional versions in Halifax, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. The first half of each episode featured 15 minutes of national agricultural news, then the remainder of the program contained regional news and information. For example, Ontario and Quebec viewers saw Earl Cox with a gardening segment, while Atlantic Canadians saw Gordon Warren on their broadcasts.

This program is distinct from CBC's Countrytime country music television program which was produced during the 1970s.
