Selecting a Speaker?
OSCAR WINNING RADIO AND TV BROADCASTER:
Since 1996 Andrew McCrea has traveled the nation, producing the “American Countryside” features that are heard each day on radio stations coast-to-coast. He can be heard on radio (Sirius/XM radio and approximately 100 other stations) and TV (programming is on RFD-TV– on all Dish and Direct TV households plus many cable systems, and about 150 local TV stations), and on such national networks as Westwood One and CBS.
Often described as today’s Charles Kuralt, he’s interviewed Emmy and Grammy winners, All-star athletes, Iditarod sled dog mushers, and even the world’s rooster crowing champion! He’s been body slammed by professional wrestlers, traveled to the launch pads at Cape Canaveral, and chronicled the plight of Central America’s coffee farmers.
The American Countryside features real people making real differences throughout our nation. Emmy Award winners, Miss America, state governors, Iditarod sled dog racers and even the winner of the National Hollerin’ contest have all been a part of this popular program. The program has won the Oscar® in Agriculture five times.
FARMER AND RANCHER:
Andrew uniqueness lies in the broad background his life encompasses. He continues to manage and work on his family’s 3500-acre ranch in northwest Missouri, McCrea Family Farms.
The family farm is split evenly between row crop production (corn and soybeans) and pasture for cattle. All of our crop ground is terraced and no-tilled in order to reduce erosion, reduce and eliminate nutrient run-off and preserve moisture for growing crops. We always strive to be good stewards of the land.
While you may not see our name on a product in the grocery store, we take pride in providing the food that Americans and people around the globe need for their daily lives.
Andrew checks cattle on horseback and even tracks down news stories on his cell phone while operating a combine or tractor. He knows what it is like to move herds of cattle and work 18-hour days harvesting a crop.
AUTHOR AND COMMUNITY LEADER:
Andrew is the author of four books including the Ippy Award Winner, “American Countryside: Where Does Lost Luggage Go?” All of his publications are insightful books about life and leadership based on the interesting stories featured on the radio program.
Andrew believes in building strong communities. He is the past chairman of the Heartland Foundation, a group that promotes the “healthy communities” concept of raising the quality of life in rural and urban areas. Andrew is also a certified lay speaker, a role that brings him to speak at many churches on topics of faith.
