Beyond The Gate

Kevin Johansen: Bridging the Gap Between Technology and the Farm

What happens when you mix a century-farm upbringing with the fast-paced world of tech startups? In this episode of Beyond the Gate, we sit down with "idea man," entrepreneur, and cattleman Kevin Johansen—who also happens to be Jamie's husband. Kevin shares the journey of founding Ag Butler, an app that brought the gig economy to agriculture by connecting farmers with skilled labor. He pulls back the curtain on pitching an Ag Tech concept on a national stage and how he now consults to bridge the gap between innovators and producers. Beyond the tech, we dive into his passion for elite Hereford and Charolais genetics and the daily grit required to balance a modern startup with life on a century farm.

Cloud's Meats: Three Generations of Quality Processing

What does it take to keep a multi-generational family business thriving for over 75 years? In this episode of Beyond the Gate, we go behind the scenes at Cloud’s Meats in Carthage, Missouri, with third-generation processor Chris Cloud. Chris shares his unique journey from high school agriculture teacher to leading the family plant, offering an inside look at how they balance 1950s-era family values with the modern demands of meat processing. We break down the "freezer beef" process, discuss the real value of buying locally, and get Chris's expert take on everything from choosing the perfect steak to the secrets of a great backyard barbecue. Whether you are a seasoned producer or a first-time freezer-beef buyer, this conversation is packed with the grit, history, and heart of the rural meat industry.

Sheriff Jim Arnott: Crime Trends, Cattle Theft, and Rural Safety

Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott joins Beyond the Gate to discuss his nearly four-decade career in law enforcement, from his early days as a reserve deputy to his upcoming transition into the role of United States Marshal. Sheriff Arnott breaks down current crime trends in rural Missouri, including how modern technology like GPS tracking and neighborhood watch networks are essential tools for safeguarding farms and equipment. Beyond the badge, he shares the personal story behind his three-legged rescue dog, Katie, and explains why he believes the greatest protection for any rural community is a neighbor who looks out for their neighbor.

Beyond the Lesson Plan: Jay Shepherd’s 27 Years of Mentorship and Missouri Grit

Jay Shepherd is much more than an educator; he is a man with many hats. In this episode of Beyond the Gate, Jamie sits down with the Lawrence County native to reflect on a 27-year career dedicated to the "three-circle model" of ag education combining classroom learning, FFA leadership, and hands-on projects. From teaching the FFA Creed in a neighbor’s kitchen to seeing a student become a Star American Farmer, Jay shares the stories that define his "calling" to the classroom. We dive into the grit required to build an animal science lab from scratch and why modern ag ed is still the key to feeding the world in 2026. It is a raw look at the power of setting high expectations and watching students discover their own potential.

Life After the Mansion: Part 2 with Mike Parson

We are back with the second half of our conversation with Missouri’s 57th Governor, Mike Parson. In this episode, we move past the titles to hear the personal stories that defined his time in office, from the quintuple bypass surgery just days before his swearing-in to the "sobering" drive to Jefferson City after the call that changed everything. Now back home in Bolivar, he reflects on the grit required for leadership, his lifelong love for the Missouri State Fair, and the faith that guided him through the state’s toughest moments. It is an honest look at life after the daily grind and the lasting values that make Missouri home.
