Orion Samuelson's birthright was a 200-acre dairy farm, but a leg disease became his wake-up call in 8th grade. When he could not 'be' a farmer, he set his sights on being a 'vocal' advocate for every farmer he ever met. In the process, Orion bent the ear of more than a dozen U.S. Presidents, and toured farms in more than 40 nations.
In this episode of the Lincoln Laureates, you'll learn exactly how this booming baritone became the "Voice of American Agriculture" -- and how he passionately connected the rural spirit with urban sprawl through Illinois' role in feeding the planet.
Our guest host for this conversation with the Lincoln Laureates is award-winning broadcast journalist, Jim Bohannon.
