About Sandhills Stories

Sandhills Stories is a Podcast featuring ranchers that span across a near 20 thousand square mile area known as the sandhills of Nebraska. The unique landscape of rolling sand dunes covered in native grass is known as one of the largest intact temperate grasslands in the world. Ranching is a way of life here and it's how most people in the area make a living. The Sandhills Task Force (a non-profit that works with area ranchers) wanted to share the stories that rarely get told outside of a branding pen or small local gathering. Join Cody in his travels and visits with ranchers all across the sandhills. If you'd like to learn more about how we work with area ranchers check us out at sandhillstaskforce.org

Switzer Ranch

The Switzer ranch near Burwell Nebraska has been in the family for over 100 years. It was started by Sarah Sortum's great grandfather who came to the Sandhills as a grouse and prairie chicken market hunter. Using the Kinkaide and Homestead Act he staked his claim and began the ranch. Currently the ranch is home to the 3rd 4th and 5th generations. Over the years their business has changed but Ranching, Conservation, and good cattle are a top priority along with a few new enterprises. Join Cody and Sarah as they sit down and talk about the history of the ranch, how it has changed over the years, and how their most recent endeavour Calamus Outfitters plays a role in the business.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
