About Karina Jones
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.

Ranch Raised with Karina Jones – Mushrooms: Yay or Nay?

So my mushroom hack today for lunch was adding these little gems as a pizza topping! I have always wanted to be one of those mushroom hunters who found them in the wild, but I’ve never had much luck here on the Jones Ranch, so I guess I will have to keep hunting them in the produce aisle of my local grocery store. 
I would love to hear your favorite ways to use mushrooms! Drop me those tips on the Ranch Raised FB page!
