  • Best Find

    One day at work I was tired of listening to historical podcasts and I searched agricultural podcasts and I found this one! I’m studying to be an Agricultural Educator. I love these podcasts because I’m from a grain and beef community and this goes into different types of Ag. Roger is calm and the conversation is not a bunch or random people spouting off. It’s very professional and bring new ideas. I love this and I plan to use these with assignments because they are so informational.
