More American dreams coming to fruition on the Underdog Ag Podcast!

This month, country and city folks alike will absolutely love listening to Nate Belcher talk about his corn quest and dreams to change the world through Hybrid85!

Belcher is one of the visionaries behind Hybrid85 based out of Omaha, Neb. It’s a company inspired to truly help the farmers and ranchers they serve.

The Underdog Ag Podcast team couldn’t be more excited about its growth across the USA. Belcher said it’s all about delivering better corn at an honest price, “We're an independent small business built differently than big brands. We don't pay for a big dealer network and commissions, buildings, expensive advertising, or trait royalties. Instead, we maintain low overhead, sell direct, and, actually, pass the savings to the farmer and rancher.”

A Nebraska native, Belcher also has nearly two decades of experience in sustainable food production, bio-intensive farming techniques and cover crop utilization. He has applied these practical, progressive, sustainable solutions for the modern world across the nation.

This is a story about an immigrant from South Africa with a drive to strive for the American dream – hold strong and true to hard work, freedom, and independence; raise a family; and positively impact the community and neighbors at home and now across the U.S.A. and Canada.

Trevor Greenfield gives credit to his family, a great network of supporters, and the farmers and ranchers he serves in this podcast that features how Rio Nutrition – riomax.net – got its start and continues to grow its mission to inspire life to flourish across agriculture and rural communities!

“I had a vision – a dream – to help ranchers by developing products that help with digestion. It was like a light had come on, and it seemed as if a whole new world had opened up.” Greenfield said.

Last episode, I interviewed Del Ficke and Ken Stewart about the Graze Master Group and their upcoming Saturday, Nov. 13 Inaugural Graze Master Cattle Sale and Educational event.

Josh Freiberger of Hague Angus Ranch is excited to also be featuring some cattle at the event on Nov. 13.

Listen to Josh talk about life on the ranch near Alliance, Neb. and more on episode two of the Underdog Ag podcast:

“Much of where breeding philosophies have gone wrong is with all this technology. The cow/calf guys and status quo seedstock producer are relying more on modern conveniences instead of the instincts God gave them to raise an animal to function in a real-world environment,” Freiberger says.
