Hank Vogler with his normal level of wisdom from experience from driving a 59 International pickup to the folk hero's of today tend to follow the same pattern. Taking down the establishment. 

Abigail Lewis from Taylor, NE is the 2020 Nebraska Hereford Queen and shares with us the excitement surrounding the 2021 show season. The passion for cattle and kids was front and center at this annual event with a very normal size crowd. 

The Chicago International Livestock Expo started in 1900 and the spirit continues today through the NAILE in Louisville, KY. The most prestigious honor one can receive in the livestock business is being recognized and inducted in the Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Gallery with the most instrumental men and women of history. Everett Forkner is so deserving of this honor and today we talk about why t...

The real reason we study factual history folks is so we don't make the same mistakes again. It appears as people what to covert up and change part of our nations history they are content to do it all over again.  

Today we walk through how the land is used in the United States. 3.6% of the land is urbanized yet 4 in 5 Americans live in that area. Talk about confinement. WOW.

Clint Berry a Superior Livestock Representative, is no stranger to loading cattle. Today he stops for a few minutes in Indiana to talk about marketing cattle with neighbors and how important the tool of genomic testing with Neogen Igenity truly is.

Who is farm country doesn't have a sister that didn't participate in the wool leadline? Great photos were shared by the NAILE 2020 and sent Trent down a path of thought about wool and the military.

Today great comparisons between life in Rural UK versus Rural USA as Andrew Henderson brings a great flavor to the program. Furthermore why is it not plastered everywhere the increased milk consumption is best way to fight COVID-19 and build the immune system?

Marty Beard brings a real world common sense discussion to the radio airwaves. No better person for combining actually history into the context of what we need to learn for today's world. 

While delivering pigs to families in Waco, TX a family approaches with a few questions. It turns out to be an inspiring conversation about parenting. 

Lee Smith a heartfelt response to the constant challenge Donald J. Trump has faced as President of the United States of America. Today we access why that is and quit frankly as to why he is not part of the establishment. 

Today was very enlightening for me delivering ground pork to worthy causes throughout the state of Nebraska. 20 kids were given a pig to raise back on April, they donated those pigs to be delivered to folks who need a hand up when it comes to food. This is what raising kids on farms/ranches is all about right here.

Coming to us from Tuscon, AZ Ben and Trent share quite a bit in common as they neither one served in the military but say thank you by bringing to stories of those who have to life. Additionally we spend a moment talking about the economy and what it takes to fix it. 

Understanding the U.S. Constitution is a somewhat rare thing today. There is no "National Election" there are only state elections and everything starts from there. Trust me we all learn something on this broadcast.

Today we need to think about something in our happy place for a bit don't we? Marty's idea night includes hunting racoon and training his dogs, but what did the random chicken pooping on the porch question come from?

Hey Eastern Nevada got a couple inches of snow and it is cause for major celebration. Hey when you are hauling water to livestock any reason to get a day off is cause for celebration. We avoid the election discussion pretty well on this day.

So most of this discussion is the real world about ag education of folks who don't want to be sold something, they want to buy it. Kim Bremmer joins Jenny Schweigert and myself to seek solutions at being better listeners. 

Diane Sullivan has been very clear as Anti-Hunger advocate for a long time. When the discussion involves access to healthy food make sure the person with lived experiences and the farmer at in the room. Today we seek true solutions in food availability and preservation.

In addition the second wave of Covid_19 hits and UK goes into lockdown this week. What does all of this mean for farmers and food consumers. Andrew Henderson, Andrew Meredith and Trent Loos with pontifications.  

Draining the Swamp is not a new concept, but never more needed.  In 1964 Ronald Reagan gave the "A time of choosing" speech campaigning for Barry Goldwater as President of the United States. The numbers have gotten bigger, the names are all changed, except Biden, and the need is real. A government causing problems instead of allowing the people to live free continues to be the issue.

John Bolin was hired by the ASPCA to investigate animal fighting violations. He quickly figured out the real crime was being committed by the animal rights organizations. Today we follow up yesterday's discussion on rodeo, prostitution and cockfighting. Hey how many broadcast cover all the bases like that?

I clearly see the slippery slope of laws put in place to "protect animals" are actually just a small step into giving animal citizenship as members of the United States of America. A very respectful discussion with folks that don't really agree on the purpose of animals in God domain. 

Diets come and go. Healthy living though is only something sustainable and described by Wendi Irlbeck today on Rural Route Radio. It is not difficult folks get back to the basics, yes like our grandparents did. 

Today 44 million people globally are living with Alzheimer's. In this tribute to my father I choose to focus on what he left me not any more than an awareness to the horrible disease that affects so many.
