Natalie Rider is the third generation of her family in the horse business on the Circle T Ranch in Celina, Ohio. Her grandfather, who always had a passion for horses, purchased this property in 1995 in the midst of his truck driving career. Then he started building a horse business.
Natalie was first put on horseback when she was 6 months old, and somewhere along the line she developed the same passion. Today, if she is not at school or sleeping she at her grandparents ranch working in the horse business. Today she trains client horses, gives riding lessons, feeds and cleans stalls for the boarding business and is coaching an equestrian Special Olympics team of eight competitors.
Natalie knows that she wants to be around horses and her families ranch for her future. So, she has already identified three universities that she can attend for a bachelor's degree in agriculture that will keep her close to home and working on the ranch! -

OFI 2062: The Art Of Farming And Farming Of Art | FFA SAE Edition | Hayden Mueller | Peotone High School FFA
Hayden Mueller is just finishing his sophomore year of high school and second year of the FFA, and he already has a lot going on. In addition to farming corn & soybeans with his dad, uncle and brother, he is now leasing his own land to do the same. In the 8th grade he started his own business in order to make some money, and that has grown into Hayden's Landscaping in which he is providing an array of lawn services to his customers.
It may sound like Hayden is working all the time, but there is another side to his high school experience - music. Hayden first got introduced to music playing the recorder in elementary school. Since then, that has grown to him playing guitar, bass guitar and saxophone. Currently he plays the baritone saxophone in the marching band and pep band at his high school. -

OFI 2059: Part II – Why GMRS Radio Is A Tool You Should Have | Rick Savoia | Buy Two Way Radios
Rick Savoia is the Product Manager for BuyTwoWayRadios.com and the host of The Two Way Radio Show, and he is back for part II of our exploration into GMRS Radio.
A few weeks back I did a Tuesday episode about GMRS Radio, why I was using it and my limited knowledge. Well today, we get to hear from an actual expert, and hopefully correct any mistakes I made in the Tuesday Episode.
There is so much information here that I broke this interview into two episodes. So, today Rick joins me for part 1 of this 2 part series, and we will talk about GMRS and how you can use it for your farming operation as well as for dealing with rural and agricultural crime.
Customer Reviews
Love the episodes
Came here for the Brad Phares episode (which is great), but learned so much more from the other episodes. Thanks!
Negative and complaining.
Host just wouldn’t get to the point. Just droned on and on about mundane life complaints. It’s like listening to a depressed relative at the dinner table.
Great podcast!
Matt brings a very interesting and informative podcast. I enjoy the interviews with FFA students, and entrepreneurs as well as his weekly bonus episodes. Keep up the great work Matt!
