Andrew McCrea is a farmer and rancher and an award-winning radio broadcaster. A graduate of the University of Missouri, he earned his degree in agriculture and returned to the family farm in northwest Missouri to help manage the operation with his father. Today the farm encompasses over 3500 acres where he and his father run a stocker cattle business and grow corn, soybeans and wheat.
In 1996 he began producing “The American Countryside” radio program. Today the program is heard Monday through Friday on almost 100 stations across the Midwest. McCrea has interviewed a great variety of guests over the years…Emmy and Grammy winners, Hall of Fame athletes, Iditarod sled dog mushers and even the rooster crowing champion! The program has won five Oscars in Agriculture. He is the author of four books, “American Countryside: Where Does Lost Luggage Go?”, “The Man Who Was President For a Day”, “God’s Perfect View” and “Making Molehills out of Mountains.” All of his books are real-life short stories offering insights into life and leadership gathered through his radio broadcasts.
He has spoken to groups in 49 states addressing audiences of up to 10,000. He believes in building strong communities. After returning to the family farm he began to serve in many volunteer roles.
