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.

If you have children under the age 10, you know this a big week! Thanks for joining me today on Ranch Raised.

The chill is the air, the sugar has been bagged, the potions are brewing, it means we are really in Halloween season! I love that this season brings out some of the best in rural communities. Family festivals and events tend to pop up. Social gatherings brings people together during a time when our county is socially going through so much turmoil. 

A weekend of cold drizzle, kept my kids mostly inside doing fall crafts, sipping hot coco, baking goodies, throwing together a big batch of homemade noodles which turned into a big pot of chicken noodle soup. Popcorn was popped, movies were watched, laundry was folded, the house was cleaned. Today we are getting through some schoolwork before we get back to movies and puzzles! 

This weekend also brought one of our favorite fall treats, Hocus Pocus Floats! Vanilla ice cream topped with a healthy pour of orange soda pop! Spending time with your family does not have to be expensive or over complicated! Enjoy the little things like popcorn and an old movie snuggled up on the couch. Fall is time for family! 

Watch for the what is going on in your community this week! Maybe trunk or treat activities. Maybe your business district is welcoming trick or treaters on Fridays. Support these efforts, thank the volunteers, and if you don’t have little kids, lending a helping hand! Fall is family and community time!

About Karina Jones 540 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.
