A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to the Heart of Rural America podcast. I’m your host, Amanda Radke ​-- a South Dakota cattle rancher, wife, mom of four, children’s book author, and motivational speaker.

I started this show with a simple goal in mind -- to share the untold stories of the often-overlooked independent farmer and rancher. On this program, We’ll discuss the challenges that face rural America and the anti-animal agriculture agenda that seeks to eliminate our way of life. But in the face of these ongoing battles, we’ll explore impactful solutions and meaningful pathways to profitability in order to keep producers on the land, to safeguard our private property rights, and to keep meat, dairy, and eggs on the dinner table.

And in stark contrast to the ugly, divisive headlines in today’s mainstream media, "The Heart of Rural America" will celebrate the faith, family values, patriotism, and work ethic of the incredible people I meet in my travels as an agricultural speaker. I hope you’ll be inspired by these agricultural entrepreneurs and rural families, just as I am.

Now let’s hit the dusty trail together as we uncover The Heart of Rural America. - Amanda

  • Livestock & Property Rights Rally at BHSS Part 1 Featuring Charles & Heather Maude
    Feb 25 2026

    In this powerful episode recorded at the Black Hills Stock Show Property Rights Rally hosted by the South Dakota Stock Growers Association, Amanda Radke shares highlights from a day focused on one of the most urgent issues facing rural Americans: property rights.

    The episode features remarks from Charles and Heather Maude, who recount their family’s deeply personal and highly publicized property rights battle involving a fence line dispute, federal criminal charges, and a long road to resolution. They share what they learned, how their case was finally resolved, and why they are now committed to helping protect other families from similar government overreach.

    Amanda then takes the stage to give a major update on what’s happening in Pierre, South Dakota, including key legislation tied to eminent domain, invasive surveying, tax exemptions for data centers, and constitutional protections for landowners. She also explains why grassroots action has become a powerful force in South Dakota and why these fights matter far beyond state lines.

    This episode is a rallying cry for farmers, ranchers, and landowners to stay engaged, stay informed, and defend the freedoms that keep rural communities strong.
