Like A Farmer Podcast is shinning a light on the stories of Rural America

Ag America Media and the Like A Farmer Podcast are on a mission to recognize the voices of rural America, and they have had a long-standing relationship with NASCAR Cup Series Driver and eight-generation watermelon farmer, Ross Chastain, to do just that.

Ross and podcast host Pat Spinosa spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender on their rural roots, the Ag To Asphalt Series, and what next season has in store.
