This week on Rural Route Radio, Trent Loos and I hear from 11-year old, Sammie Starritt, from Merriam, Neb. Sammie has gone viral on social media with her movement, #WeStillExist, which aims to show consumers that real farmers and ranchers are still out in rural America tending to the land and livestock to produce our food.
I never turn down an opportunity to share my perspective as a beef cattle producer. Although I knew nothing I said would ever change this young man’s mind about who we are as livestock producers, I wanted him to hear our side of the story just the same.
The other day, I asked y'all for your best parenting advice, and it was so good that I decided to follow up with a second question -- what's your best advice for marriage, especially for agricultural couples?
The responses were SO GOOD, and now I'm deep-diving on this topic for an upcoming RADKE REPORT column. Stay tuned!
Today, I wanted to share some of your advice. Feel free to add more in the comments section!
