Middle Tennessee Business Podcast....subscribe/follow/rate/review at www.mmtbp.comI met Ray Jeter a few months ago at a Maury County Commission meeting. I was impressed with his earnest desire to make sure Maury County, which has been experiencing unprecedented growth along with most of Middle Tennessee, to maintain its rural roots and charm mixed with suburban enterprise. To say that Ray Jeter's roots are firmly planted in Maury County is quite an understatement. When Ray was three years old, his family relocated their concrete business to middle Tennessee, laying the foundation for his future endeavors in Maury County.He met his future wife-to-be in Kindergarten! His formative years were spent in the humble surroundings of the Maury County trailer park, American Mobile Village. It was here that he first encountered the life-altering power of faith, guided by Pastor John Rushing.Later, at a local church, he rekindled his connection with God and reunited with Courtney, his kindergarten sweetheart, forging a bond that would withstand the tests of time.Ray enrolled in Bible College immediately after graduation. After just three semesters in Bible College, Ray proposed to Courtney, and they were married on March 16, 2002.In 2009, Ray joined the Maury County Sheriff's Department as a reserve deputy, later earning a full-time appointment as a patrol deputy in 2011. In August 2014, he was elevated to the position of Chief Deputy Sheriff.Fueled to effect positive change in his community, Ray campaigned for and won the Maury County Commission seat in 2022. With unwavering determination and a steadfast commitment to public service, he now sets his sights on a new endeavor, campaigning for TN State Representative, driven by a vision of Maury First.Follow Ray:www.mauryfirst.comHighpoints:Growth and development in a small town.

Ethan Foster of Maury County is the 2023 Tennessee Young Farmers & Ranchers Environmental Stewardship Award winner. The award highlights young farmers who incorporate environmentally friendly practices on their farm. Thomas Capps: Recognition for efforts and environmental stewardship. Hello, welcome to Tennessee Holman Farm Radio. I'm Thomas camps. Ethan Foster: It's my whole life. It's my full time Monday through Friday job and then it's my job in the afternoons on on the weekends on my farm. Thomas Capps: Ethan foster of Murray County is this year's winner of the Tennessee Young Farmers and Ranchers Environmental Stewardship Award. The award recognizes young farmers who are making an effort to incorporate environmentally friendly practices on their operations. Foster works full time as a soil conservationist with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Services and runs a cow calf and stocker operation on the side. Foster constantly tries to take good care of the environment. It's something that's always been a part of his life. Ethan Foster: My mom was on the soil conservation board for Maury County for many years. So I have kind of grown up with conservation in mind. My grandfather put a lot into conserving his land and making it better when he left it to my brother and I now which we now farm his farm, then when he bought it, and so it's it's meant a lot to me and it's, it's kind of become my life, my livelihood for my wife and I. Thomas Capps: As a soil conservationist Foster works with farmers every day to get them in environmental programs that involve things like growing cover crops. He says farmers sometimes get a bad rap on how they treat the environment. But in reality, farmers protect the environment better than almost anybody. Ethan Foster: We as farmers have to take care of what we have. If we destroy our best asset our land, then we have nothing to farm with to raise the next crop with a graze cattle alone because without healthy land, farmers livelihoods are ruined. I think farmers are the exact opposite of probably what many people think I think they probably care more for land their animals than then you could ever imagine. Thomas Capps: As winner, Foster receives a free trip to the American Farm Bureau Convention, which is in Salt Lake City, Utah in January and a Schlegel quick hoist bumper. For Tennessee Holman Farm Radio, I'm Thomas Capps.

Mike talked about his winding path to art education and the myth of the art professor with abundant studio time. He shared how he fits in studio time in the gaps and how rich and fulfilling this winding path has been. Mike also shared a project he does with students that provides useful data for teachers in assessing student learning, being able to offer data to administrators, while also letting students see their own growth. He talked about thinking in similar ways within his studio practice to shift to a growth mindset as an artist. I loved the idea of differentiating for yourself, realizing that you can't be fantastic at everything, and recognizing your own growth as an artist. I also loved the mindset shift from “I'm not good at art” to “I've been underserved as an artist.” Thanks, Mike, for a new way to respond to “I can't draw.” Mike talked about many artists he admires and loves to share with students.
