Hello and welcome to another edition of Rick and Bubba University the

podcast we're going to be visiting this hour with Brian Rosinger.

Now Brian has written the book Land Rich Cash Poor, my family's hope in the

untold history and why don't like hearing this of the disappearing

American farmer. Bubba you and I because we're from rural Alabama it was

really really common for your parents or if not at least your grandparents.

Yeah, all your grandparents were.

Yeah, always were farmers and we were an agricultural society and boy have we moved

away from that and unfortunately it's as if the farmer has like

Thanks for taking time to be with us.
