In this lively and unscripted episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley and Morgan Hart take you behind the scenes of the Midwest Swine Nutritionists’ family reunion in Omaha, Nebraska—recorded straight from their Hilton hotel room.

From Hilton skywalk networking to sneezing on sun-soaked skybridges, this episode captures the unfiltered reality of industry events: the good, the exhausting, and the energizing. Casey and Morgan share personal reflections on professional growth, confidence in public speaking, and why choosing the right outfit can change your whole presentation game.

You’ll also hear about travel with toddlers, on-the-road pumping logistics, award ceremonies that honor family support, and—of course—the vital importance of passionate people in ag science.

Whether you're an academic, an ag industry pro, or just here for the real talk, this episode reminds us that community matters more than venue—and that authenticity (and colorful jackets) can go a long way.

✔️ What makes Midwest Animal Science meetings feel like a reunion
✔️ How style, confidence, and "doing your colors" impact public speaking
✔️ The realities of balancing motherhood and ag careers on the road
