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","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T00:18:45.633684+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-rural-america-6476790"},"episode":{"title":"Radke Land and Cattle Second Annual Bull Sale Preview: Genetics, Grit, and Giving Back","slug":"radke-land-and-cattle-second-annual-bull-sale-preview-genetics-grit-and-giving-back","published_at":"2026-01-30T19:54:39+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-rural-america-6476790/radke-land-and-cattle-second-annual-bull-sale-preview-genetics-grit-and-giving-back","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-rural-america-6476790","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/theheartofruralamerica/2507132","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/220552/2507132/theheartofruralamerica/2026_01_30_17_46_52_0048c238-d0a7-4eed-95c3-19fa73184cfa.mp3","summary":"In this special episode of The Heart of Rural America , host Amanda Radke is joined by her husband, Tyler Radke , for a behind-the-scenes preview of their second annual President’s Day Bull Sale at Radke Land & Cattle , located just north of Mitchell, South Dakota.
