Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!
Thanks for tuning into this midweek edition of Ranch Raised.
You know that one of the most untapped resources is inside of our local greenhouses and seed stores? THE PEOPLE! The thing about dirt loving, seed starting, flower growing people, it they are an open book and would love to share with you whatever you don’t know. You just have to ask.
More than growing in their own gardens, helping others grow their gardens brings just as much joy to them. So if you are new to gardening or have a pesky plant problem you need help with, don’t be shy! Just hop over to your local greenhouse and someone will help you with the answer.
These greenhouse people also want to help the next generation of gardeners develop their love of dirt and growing things! So if you lead or are a part of a youth organization or club, I better your local greenhouse would love to offer the kids a special class.
And this my friends is just another reason why I find our local greenhouses to be such vital parts of our communities. There is knowledge behind those doors that every community needs to embrace.
When this wind stops blowing one of these days, I’m inspired and ready to dig in some dirt! Good Friday is coming and that means I will plant my potatoes.
If you missed an episode of Ranch Raised you can catch it on the Your Ag Network app or website. Have a great day from all of us at this great American radio station!

Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 3 daughters near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion.
Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA.
You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report that is broadcast on 60 radio stations with coverage in 9 states, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and highlights R-CALF’s work on industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
