Heart of Rural America

Welcome to the Heart of Rural America podcast. I’m your host, Amanda Radke ​-- a South Dakota cattle rancher, wife, mom of four, children’s book author, and motivational speaker. I started this show with a simple goal in mind -- to share the untold stories of the often-overlooked independent farmer and rancher. On this program, We’ll discuss the challenges that face rural America and the anti-animal agriculture agenda that seeks to eliminate our way of life. But in the face of these ongoing battles, we’ll explore impactful solutions and meaningful pathways to profitability in order to keep producers on the land, to safeguard our private property rights, and to keep meat, dairy, and eggs on the dinner table. And in stark contrast to the ugly, divisive headlines in today’s mainstream media, "The Heart of Rural America" will celebrate the faith, family values, patriotism, and work ethic of the incredible people I meet in my travels as an agricultural speaker. I hope you’ll be inspired by these agricultural entrepreneurs and rural families, just as I am. Now let’s hit the dusty trail together as we uncover The Heart of Rural America. - Amanda

Carbon Pipeline Is Outdated Idea. Better Opportunities Ahead For Corn Farmers with Doyle Turner

Proponents of the proposed multi-state carbon pipeline project love to claim it will be a boost for farmers, for landowners, for ethanol plants, for schools and communities. However, the problem is that eminent domain abuse and trampling on local control is a Constitutional crisis playing out right in our rural communities. Doyle Turner is a retired Iowa farmer, feeder, and banker who is sounding the alarm on this boondoggle and suggesting new and innovative opportunities for corn farmers and ethanol -- no pipeline needed.
