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.

It is rare that I share my political feelings on this show, but I’m going to let it rip, today on Ranch Raised!

I don’t know how these people got my number, but I am seriously considering dropping my cell phone number which I have had since 1996, in my best effort to NEVER receive another political text again! My husband who maybe takes 10 phone calls a month, receives that many political texts before noon. He is on the edge of riding by a windmill and throwing his phone into the water tank. 

And how about opening up the mailbox these days. I’ve had more pleasure in taking out the trash, then collecting the mail. God bless our mail carriers! But, honestly, who is even looking at all of those political mailers? For the most part, the ones that come out of my mailbox, go right into the trash can without any of our eyeballs looking at them. 

It pushes me into a state of nausea thinking about all of the millions of dollars that have been spent on these political campaigns. Especially when I consider the reality of our nation. A country that is now a net importer of food. A country that is riddled with addiction and disease. Could we not spend that money on cancer research or making sure every child has a good breakfast and a clean coat to swear to school? And that is where I divert from every political campaign. It is nothing but a gross display of how disconnected politicians are from the average Americans, like you and I!

About Karina Jones 538 Articles
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.
