Our country is now more divided along the urban/rural line than ever before. Don't let this fact lead you to despair!

As a whole, most of the problem is a lack of understanding between the Urban and the Rural people. There are many ways we can cross this divide, but it won't be accomplished by sitting back and embracing our little corner of the world.

In this video, I interviewed a Colorado Food Producer, also known as a rancher, who is fighting to bring the two worlds together. Just as I am attempting to do myself.

  • As a Southern Colorado resident (and a former vegan, now carnivore), this video and your conversations with local ranchers has cleared up a ton of misinformation and naivete. Thank you!!!
  • @Deepdiver4U
    Janie Vanwinkle, you are a absolutely remarkable woman! I think you should be appointed USDA secretary, Chairman/person! You represent the epitome of the American dream in agriculture. Congratulations.
  • @Race1
    Mrs VanWinkle was a wonderful spokesperson and more than knowledgeable about food production in general and their operation in particular. Congratulations to her and her family on their hard work and success!! 👍🇺🇸👍
  • @donnakearse2503
    Really interesting. The lady was very articulate. Really knows her stuff. Thank you for this interview.
  • @toddunruh3998

    The government needs to pay the ranchers for every head of cattle that they lose predators, they unleashed on the land. They need to surround the wildlands with electrical fences, so that the wildlife inside the forest, which is public land, does not come and use the property of the ranchers. This is ridiculous. The ranchers do so much to provide food, and it’s a hard, tough life to care for these animals that will soon become our food. Every activity and exercise on private lands should be paid for by those doing their special studies and the government wanting to reserve wildlife. I am all for the preservation of wildlife, but not when our ranchers are expected to foot the bill for everyone! The government needs to pay the ranches for every head of cattle, that they lose! And any other costs incurred thru loss of feed, veterinary costs incurred because of injury etc. Thank you for these wonderful videos about our ranchers!

    Your interviews and coverage of these subjects are top notch. I wish everyday that I was lucky enough to have been born into or had an opportunity to have a life like these ranchers.

    I live and grew up in East Central coastal Florida. The Kennedy Space Center is 5 miles from me. When i was a young man, our community was primarily citrus groves and sportsman vacationers. The space industry is well-rooted here now and, of course, like me, there are thousands of retirees. We locals failed to perceive what the enormous impact of land developers and carpetbaggers would have on our environment and our culture. The ranchers you interview appear to be dealing with unfettered growth and current risk far better than us. I wish you all good luck and perseverance in your efforts to maintain your heritage and your food production businesses. Your consistent efforts are not for the faint of heart.

    Great reminder to stay involved with your communities and our government. ❤

    Thank you sooo much for introducing us to this awesome woman. At 70yo, growing up on my grandfather's farm in MD, then 37 yrs in Southern PA among hundreds of acres of farmland, I so connect with this lady....and all she is doing. Because I've eaten a Carnivore diet for the past 5yrs, and the whole Carnivore movement has become a runawsy train, cattle are very important to me...and all of us. Just a wonderful wonderful conversation.💕 Moved to NE Texas 3yrs ago with my wild-caught Mustang who is now 18yo...and neither of us like it. Maybe I need to look at NV, AZ, or CO.
  • @atraildog
    As a Pennsylvania vegetable and grains farmer and a avid mountain biker... This was a great interview! Can't wait to ride to Palisade Plunge and eat some local beef on our next CO trip.
  • @joandonnelly7206
    Great information for people who haven't grown up in this lifestyle. People in large cities have no idea where their food comes from. I grew up on a cattle ranch in NM but now live north of Ft Worth and have committed to supporting local beef producers when my family doesn't process a beef. I still have some from last years processing. I LOVE this lady, she's very well spoken and knowledgeable!!!!
  • Awesome job Trinity very great conversation about ranchers and how it effects all of us on how are food supply gets to are table 👍
