Welcome to Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country this nations only live, full hour talk show about living the rural lifestyle. We're heard each Sunday morning at 8am Central Time from anywhere on the planet if you use your computer (click here for the link) and if you happen to live in Central Iowa you can catch us on 98.3 WOW-FM (983wowfm). So..you can listen live using your computer or on-air. And, following each show we'll upload the podcast...so you can listen whenever you want. (And yes...we got snow this weekend!)
On the show this week we're talking about The Emerald Ash Borer and what that means to folks living in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and of course here in Iowa. We've also got a story about the closing of dairy herds across the country.
Quiznos is back in the news...the second week in a row?
Want a house but don't have the downpayment? Maybe no problem with a little known program from the USDA. We'll tell you about it. In case you've run out of things to worry about...you've now got, "Farm Dust". Crazy but true.
Corn based bio-fuels on the way out? Yikes! Lots of stories about this stuff.
YOU are the reason we do this show...and your numbers are increasing. That's right, for the first time in 60 years there has been an increase in the number of farms in the US. We'll share the details. Oh...got spots in your lawn from pet urine, salt or de-icers? New product out there to deal with it...once and for all.
Horse rescues and horse slaughter. The topic is heating up again and we'll have several stories for you.
Hold the PHONE! We just found this - by way of TWITTER. His name is Paul Pecilunas and he's out of Minnesota. He does these GREAT video pieces about rural living and "stuff in general". What a great find. Enjoy this one: "Rhythms of a Winter Day". We loved it! Watch for more...right here from time to time!
