Tobacco Farmers 1999

AgriTalk originated on August 1, 1994 when Ken Root keyed the microphone and introduced a rural affairs show that was not afraid of controversy. 

He hosted the daily hour at 10:00 am with colorful guests and callers that drove the content of the program. At times, Root was more of a referee than a conductor.

Over the next seven years, AgriTalk dealt with many issues that faced Rural America. Some still resonate today.

Ken has been given the opportunity to highlight shows that are exemplary of the issues of the 1990's. He has linked several of the topics of the last century with today. Listen in to remember how it was and how it is. <a href="https://kennetheroot.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">kennetheroot.substack.com</a>
