Farm Broadcasters Reporting Worldwide

Gary Truitt and Ken Root compare notes on their careers in radio farm broadcasting. Truitt owns the Hoosier Ag Network in Indiana but he started out as just a kid who liked to play Rock and Roll music in the 1970's.  He found his niche in radio and became one of the most known agricultural reporters in the Midwest.  He and Ken Root began following the trade missions of John Block, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, in the Reagan administration.  They traveled to Asia, Europe and South America to see customers and competitors.  Block was an Illinois farmer and marathoner and globe trotted for six years with both men in hot pursuit.
