Welcome back to the Western Ag Life Podcast! 🎙️🌵

Today, we’re excited to welcome Sine Kerr — Arizona farmer, agricultural advocate, former State Senator, and current candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Arizona.

We will also get to know Sine beyond public office — talking about her background, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what continues to keep her connected to Arizona’s agricultural community.

Whether you’re listening from the ranch, the road, or somewhere in between, we hope you enjoy this conversation with Sine Kerr!

His music brings together country, western influences, storytelling, humor, and the experiences that come from living and working in the Southwest. We sat down with Andy to talk about his journey, songwriting, ranch life, the stories behind his music, and what continues to inspire him today.

Welcome back to the Western Ag Life Podcast! 🎙️🌵

Today, we hit the road for the 54th Annual Range Field Day, hosted by the Willcox-San Simon Natural Resource Conservation District at C Bar Ranch!

We visited with agriculture leaders, supporters, and educators about why agricultural education matters and the importance of creating hands-on opportunities for the next generation. Students put their knowledge to work in soils, range plants, wildlife, and forestry while learning firsthand about Arizona’s natural resources.

Another great day sharing the people and stories that keep Western agriculture moving forward. 🤠

STAY WESTERN! 🌵

🎙️ This Week on the Western Ag Life Podcast

This week, I’m excited to visit with David W. Shafer, an accomplished photographer whose work is being seen around the world.

David and I talk about his deep connection to the agriculture and livestock industries and how those experiences have shaped the way he sees the world through his camera. What I appreciate about David’s work is his ability to capture agriculture and the Western lifestyle from a true, firsthand perspective—because he has lived it and been involved in it.

We also discuss David’s relationship with the University of Arizona and the role that agriculture and education have played throughout his journey.

It was a great conversation about photography, agriculture, livestock, the people who make up our Western way of life, and the importance of telling those stories.

🐕 WESTERN AG LIFE — ON LOCATION! 🐕

Today, Western Ag Life is on location in East Tucson at Melanie Guthrie’s canine training facility for a fascinating conversation about dogs, training, breeding, and the special role they play in our lives.

Melanie brings a lifetime of experience training, handling, and breeding protection dogs to our conversation. Her expertise has taken her well beyond Arizona, as she has trained and sold protection dogs to clients around the world, building a reputation through years of experience and dedication to her craft.

We talk about Melanie’s upbringing, how she first got involved with training and handling dogs, and the experiences that shaped her approach and philosophy.

We also get her thoughts on working with protection animals and what it takes to develop the relationship, trust, discipline, and understanding between a dog and its handler.

But perhaps most importantly, we talk about something that goes beyond training, breeding, or protection. To Melanie, these dogs aren’t simply working animals—they are lifelong members of our families. ❤️🐾

It’s another great Western Ag Life conversation about experience, dedication, and the people who have made their passion part of the Western lifestyle.

🎙️ Listen, watch, and share this week’s Western Ag Life Podcast!

🏆 THE WORLD CHAMPION JOINS US ON WESTERN AG LIFE! 🏆

Today on the Western Ag Life Podcast, we’re proud to welcome back Jace Thompson — the 2026 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion!

Jace has been a guest on the podcast before, but this visit is especially special as we celebrate his incredible victory at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship in St. Onge, South Dakota, this past June.

We talk about what it means to earn one of the highest honors in livestock auctioneering, his journey to the championship, and the remarkable Thompson family legacy in the livestock industry.

We also talk about Jace’s accomplishments in competitive auctioneering, his pursuit of excellence, and what the future may hold for a young man who has already accomplished so much.

But perhaps the most impressive thing about Jace isn’t just his talent behind the microphone—it’s his humility, work ethic, and genuine passion for the livestock industry.

At only 24 years old, Jace has already established himself as one of the premier young auctioneers in the business. Now, as World Champion, he has an opportunity to use that platform to promote livestock marketing, agriculture, and the opportunities available to the next generation.

We know Jace Thompson is going to be an ambassador for this industry for many years to come, and we’re proud to have him back on the Western Ag Life Podcast.
