  • I’m Not A Farmer

    I’m not a farmer but I feel they are the heart and soul of America. We must help save the farm and ranch if we are going to preserve our country. Your guest is trying to do that. Farmers please give her some feedback so she can help you and America.

    Thank you Rob and your wife for this podcast.
