In Case You Missed It: Patrick Gottsch, the Founder and President of Rural Media Group, passed away at the age of 70. He was a champion of rural America, and devoted more than half his life to empowering farmers and ranchers, giving them a voice at the table. At 70 years old, he continued to live life to the fullest and packed more experiences into a week than most people do in a lifetime.
