Renee: The Aggie
When she’s not raising beef cattle and hay at her Washington County farm, co-host Renee Carrico serves as Commodity Division Director at KFB, overseeing Federation programs, tackling environmental issues, and providing support for ag-related policies. Growing up in Princeton on a small family farm, Renee’s enthusiasm for agriculture runs deep and she’s excited to bring farmers’ stories to life on Let’s Get Rural.
Matt: The City Slicker
Co-hosting a podcast dedicated to farmers, Matt Hilton blends his passion for agriculture with his knack for engaging conversations. As Manager of KFB Studios, Matt has interviewed farmers across Kentucky, telling their stories for KFB’s Emmy-award-winning shows “Bluegrass & Backroads” and “The KFB Show.” Born and raised in Louisville, Matt proudly calls himself an “adopted aggie,” always eager to learn more about agriculture and share the impactful work farmers do for us.
The show also includes appearances by Kentucky Farm Bureau News Editor Tim Thornberry.
