This news program gets cutting edge science, technology, corporate mergers and innovative farming activities out to today’s ag community. In addition the ag economy relies on breaking news on farm regulations and political announcements, information important to keeping our producers ahead of the game not only locally but on the world stage.  Bob Larson is the newest member of the team.  Bob grew up in Southeastern WA working in the fields as all rural kids do.  He left the country life behind to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. He comes to us from the number one talk radio station in Seattle, KIRO, where Bob was the station’s news editor for eight years.  This is a daily 2:30 minute program.
