Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you!Rural Americans are some of the most tenacious and giving individuals on the planet. While many of us identify as farmers and ranchers on a level far exceeding that of many “normal” careers, that devotion can come at a cost when it comes to managing the challenges associated with feeding the world.   On today's episode we invite you to take a seat and join the conversation as we chat with Jeff Winton, founder of Rural Minds, about the need for a focus on mental healthcare in rural communities and how his organization is networking to make that happen. A huge thank you to Vermeer for their sponsorship of this episode. Additional resources: Rural MindsWebinars with Rural MindsRural Mental Health ResilienceFind more information to make Angus work for you in the Angus Beef Bulletin and ABB EXTRA.

In several ways, akin to the growing collective demographic of people who don't have children, the overlooked value of voter relevance & influence is too often dismissed by dominant political narratives. Tune in for this timely conversation with Matthew Ferrence, author of I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me: Essays on Rural Political Decay (West Virginia University Press, 2024). In 2020, Matthew Ferrence ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, in a deeply-red district, and lost quite badly. In his newest book, he reflects on this experience to explore how American political narratives refuse to recognize the existence and value of nonconservative rural Americans, and how losing offers insight into the political morass of our nation. In I Hate It Here, Please Vote for Me he offers a counter-narrative to stereotypes of monolithic rural American voters and emphasizes that the ways stories are told about rural America are a source for the bitter divide between Red America and Blue America. Tune in live or on-demand to learn more about the underpinnings of the US political landscape and the need to recognize overlooked nonconservative voters in rural America.

Hello!Today, we talk about the rural vote and the positioning of Tim Walz as the rural whisperer. Will it work? Is there such a thing as a “rural identity” that might look at Walz and gravitate towards him? What's the thinking behind all that? To help us through it, we talked to Paolo Cremidis, the organizer of the recent Rural Americans for Harris Zoom call and the executive director of the Outrun coalition. Topics covered: Ice skating rinks turned into giant Fiji water bottles, running back Obama, the Sims, how the culture warriors of the right misunderstand rural voters and what rural voters actually want.

Rural Americans have higher rates of depression, and farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population, according to the National Rural Health Association.

In this compelling episode of The Hot Dish, we're dishing out a hearty serving of insight into the pulse of America's rural heartland, exploring perspectives on politics, addiction, and the essence of community.Join us as Lisa and Bill Bright share their personal narrative of tragedy and triumph. Their story of losing a son to drug addiction and their dedication through the Will Bright Foundation is a poignant reminder of the shadow cast by addiction in rural spaces and the critical need for communal support and legislative advocacy, especially against the backdrop of a growing fentanyl crisis.The conversation turns to the election year as hosts Heidi and Joel Heitkamp provide a rich backdrop for a conversation as real as the soil itself. As we navigate the upcoming election, Heidi reveals how crucial rural America is and praises the timeless role of rural radio in stitching together the fabric of these communities.Our guest, Isaac Wright, from the Rural Voter Institute, brings an unfiltered look at the experiences shaping rural conversations. Isaac delves into his motivations behind the institute, emphasizing the dire need for candid discourse and an authentic understanding of rural voters. Together with Joel, they dissect the economic and societal threats looming over small towns and candidly discuss the daunting wage gap that threatens to undermine the spirit of rural neighborhoods. Isaac's reflection on the deep-seated fear of school consolidation reveals the generational impact such events have on local sentiment.Confronting the challenges of political branding, Isaac highlights how the attachment of the Democratic label can unfavorably sway rural support, shedding light on a study underscoring the delicate interplay between rural identity and political affiliation.Throughout the dialogue, Joel and Isaac's shared passion for hunting emerges as a touchstone for discussing the nuanced topic of gun ownership and its political implications. Isaac's focus on integrating genuine faith and moral grounds in political decision-making underscores the complexity of rural America's value system.Listeners will also glean fresh perspectives on rural radio's role in the political landscape. As Heidi and Joel endorse the medium's significance, they invite you to tune in to rural voices and consider radio a conduit for understanding, far beyond costly focus groups.Finally, the hosts remind us that The Hot Dish and the One Country Project are like comfort food for middle America, a place to connect and reflect. So, as we wrap up this savory episode, we encourage our listeners to stay engaged, visit the One Country Project's website, and share your thoughts with us by emailing podcast@onecountryproject.org. All in all, this episode is a full meal, delivering sustenance for thought and fuel for action in rural America.

Eric and ConservativeAnt bring you up to speed on yet another cyberattack, this time causing outages on social media platforms while the country has it's biggest day in the election cycle yet-- Super Tuesday. The decay of western society continues as murder rates are at a 30 year high. Which is the greater threat to the republic-- so called "Christian Nationalists" or Rural Americans? Big Left hates them both. Meanwhile you might forget that Whoopi Goldberg was alive but she keeps herself in the news cycle with malignant stupidity, now calling for complete political persecution. Just like in mother Russia, which is what they all secretly want anyway. Bill Maher-- that whackadoo who occasionally makes a lot of sense--- square off against Dr. Phil about family values-- what are they good for? If you are a single atheist, are you the new normal?  Try to get informed without getting depressed, that's where we come in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The widening gulf between rural and urban America is becoming the most serious political divide of our day. Support for Democrats, up and down the ballot, has plummeted throughout the countryside, and the entire governing system is threatened by one-party dominance. After Donald Trump's surprising victories throughout rural America, pundits and journalists went searching for answers, popping into roadside diners and opining from afar. Rural Americans are supposedly bigots, culturally backwards, lazy, scared of the future, and radical. But is it that simple? Is the country splintering between two very different Americas--one rural, one urban?  This pathbreaking book pinpoints forces behind the rise of the "rural voter"--a new political identity that combines a deeply felt sense of place with an increasingly nationalized set of concerns. Combining a historical perspective with the largest-ever national survey of rural voters, Nicholas F. Jacobs and Daniel M. Shea uncover how this overwhelmingly crucial voting bloc emerged and how it has roiled American politics. They show how perceptions of economic and social change, racial anxieties, and a traditional way of life under assault have converged into a belief in rural uniqueness and separateness. Rural America believes it rises and falls together, and that the Democratic Party stands in the way. An unparalleled exploration of rural partisanship, this book offers a timely warning that the chasm separating urban and rural Americans cannot be papered over with policies or rhetoric. Instead, The Rural Voter: The Politics of Place and the Disuniting of America (Columbia University Press, 2023) demonstrates, this division strikes at the heart of enduring conflicts over American identity.

Rural Americans experience higher rates of depression and suicide than people who live in the city, but they are less likely to have access to mental health care services. Add to that the social isolation that can come from living in remote areas, and the still taboo nature of mental health struggles in small towns, and you've got a recipe for desolation.That's why MPR News host Kerri Miller tackled the topic as part of her Rural Voice series. She moderated a town hall earlier this month in Little Falls, Minn., where community members discussed the realities of disconnection, post-pandemic, and how social isolation puts everyone at risk.But they also brainstormed ways to fight it. How can therapists, doctors and volunteers become more culturally competent, so mental health struggles don't go unaddressed? What can Minnesota do to make mental health care more accessible to rural communities? Are there particular programs that are effective with populations who are experiencing high rates of depression and anxiety right now, like seniors and teens? This is part three in a four-part series featuring conversations from the Rural Voice project — a series of town halls hosted by Miller in communities across the Upper Midwest about the rewards and challenges of making a home in rural America. The first discussion, hosted in New Ulm, Minn., focused on how to support rural entrepreneurship. The second, from Two Harbors, Minn., discussed the urgent need for affordable housing in small towns.

How are rural people feeling about the future? What are they concerned about? What do they value? Pollster Celinda Lake talks with Center for Rural Strategies President Dee Davis about the findings of a soon-to-be-released poll that explores what's on the minds of rural voters in 2023. "We really asked questions to get beyond the surface, and we looked in-depth at concerns and values and then support for policies," Lake says. "And what I loved about it was that the poll was really defying a lot of conventional wisdom."   Find the video, interview highlights, and transcript at https://www.ruralassembly.org. About the guest Celinda Lake is a pollster and political strategist who is considered one of the nation's foremost experts on electing women candidates and on framing issues to women voters. President of the polling firm Lake Research Partners, Lake grew up on a ranch in rural Montana. American Politics calls Celinda a "super-strategist or, better yet, the Godmother," and Working Woman says she is "arguably the most influential woman in her field." 

More and more conservative Americans in rural towns think US aid to Ukraine would be better spent elsewhere and the GOP presidential candidates are taking notice.

Colorado Commissioner and Republican candidate for Colorado's 8th District, Scott James says that the corporate music industry going after Jason Aldean's “Try that in a Small Town” are attacking the lives of everyday AmericansSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The woke cancel culture mob has failed yet again! If you want to guarantee a surge in support for whatever you're doing, get canceled by the woke mob, and you will skyrocket to success because patriots across the nation are rising up and they've got your back!     Highlights:  "Jason Aldean's song, ‘Try That in a Small Town' has rocketed to the number one song on iTunes after CMT, the feckless Country Music Television channel, banned it for offending the woke sentiments of audiences that don't even listen to country music!'" “The song, is a very bold and effective critique of the woke left's 2020 race riots, the fiery but mostly peaceful race riots that inflicted over $2 billion dollars in damages across the nation. It makes no apologies in affirming that that kind of violence and mayhem will NEVER be allowed in the heart of Americana. Rural Americans will defend themselves if faced with the same leftist political violence and chaos that has plagued our decaying and decrepit urban cities.” “The gatekeepers of all things corporate woke are quickly and painfully learning that they're no longer in charge! Just ask Bud Light, Target, Disney, Netflix, Fox News, CNN! They're no longer in charge!” “The Federalist has a great piece out on the real reason the woke hate this song, and it's obviously got nothing to do with racism or lynching or anything like that, those are just cosmetic dog whistles for something far deeper that the woke opposes and hates! In the end, the article argues that the woke hate traditional conservative rural values. And they hate them because they see them as a threat to the world that the woke envision”      Timestamps:   [02:40] Patriots got Jason Aldean's back [04:26] Woke Inc. gets triggered by Jason Aldean's song  [06:31] The real reason why the ‘Woke' hates the song [07:46] Woke values centered on victimhood   Resources:  The Courageous Patriot Community is inviting YOU!

Rural Americans and their operations are what keep the world running. Just like anyone else, these business owners, manufacturers and farmers need access to reliable internet, but many rural areas lack a reliable connection or wifi. GoNetspeed, a fiber internet provider formerly known as Otelco, is out to change that. In this episode, Rick Lashley, Director of Wireless Operations and Product Development, explains the company's primary goal of running fiber to rural American communities to support their business and lifestyle.  What you'll learn:  Rick's responsibilities as Director of Wireless Operations and Product Development Rick's favorite parts about serving rural America The purpose and focus of GoNetspeed The relationship between GoNetspeed and the Missouri State Fair Insight on why rural Americans are underserved by their fiber and how GoNetspeed fills the gap How to get in touch with GoNetSpeed at gonetspeed.com The role GoNetspeed has in Military Appreciation Day at the Missouri State Fair Details about how the internet and technology has changed and grown  The role of the good people that make sure rural Americans can depend on their internet connection 

The federal government has set aside billions of dollars aimed at improving internet speeds for rural Americans. But, despite multiple government programs designed to fix the problem, many in those communities are still waiting for faster speeds.

A bright future for the nation depends on the health and prosperity of rural America, and unfortunately, we are at a moment in time where life is not ideal in the rural heartland.  Although most rural Americans are generally satisfied with the overall quality of life and see their communities as safe, we are reaching a crisis when it comes to financial insecurity, trouble accessing affordable, high quality health care, a lack of high-speed internet access, housing problems, and isolation/loneliness. When it comes to health care, even though most rural Americans have health insurance, about one-quarter say they lack adequate health care access, as they have not been able to get the care they needed at some point in the past few years. Consequently, potentially preventable deaths from the five leading causes are consistently higher in rural counties, especially with heart disease.  (Nearly half of deaths from heart disease in rural counties are preventable, compared with 18% in large metropolitan areas.)  All of this has culminated into a mistrust of the traditional, fee-for-service dominated healthcare system and created a “shadow population” of underserved minorities and the socially isolated who are dealing with significant cardiovascular metabolic disease. The Arkansas Lincoln Project is an important population health program focused on improving cardiovascular health in highly underserved, under-resourced areas of the Arkansas Delta Region where economic and health disparities have life altering consequences for rural residents.  Joining us this week, we have two population health leaders sharing their insights about their work in deploying community-based cardiovascular health interventions led by community health workers. Chip Purcell is the director of cardiology research at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences and the principal investigator of the Arkansas Lincoln Project.  Joining him is Dr. Jessica Barnes, the co-founder and CEO of 20Lighter, LLC – an award winning cardiometabolic health program, delivering dramatic reductions in inflammation and visceral fat.  Together they are winning the “Race to Value” by fighting cardiovascular metabolic disease in the Arkansas Delta, the worst region in the nation for healthcare quality and population health outcomes.
