Join Rick and Elara of Backyard Green Films as we traverse the U.S on a green adventure! We travel throughout the land in our travel trailer (nicknamed Bessie), on a mission to share the stories, dedication, and wisdom of America's stewards of sustainable agriculture who've followed their own 'call of the land.' From scientists to geneticists to organic farmers and ranchers - plus a bounty of interesting folks we meet along the way, each voice is uniquely diverse, and each story compels us to uncover, discover, and share.

Episode 121
I’m from California, so that means that I surf every day, eat granola and salad all the time, am a dyed-in-the-wool leftist, and drive a hybrid, right? Well, a few of those things might be true, but some are not. And in the same way people think about the “laid-back state” residents as only one type, we all have preconceived ideas about a place and its residents.
Texas has the same image problem. The variety in Texas is amazing, whether that be people, music, lifestyle or just about anything. Today’s podcast features one of those residents, Mr. B.J. Rankin, who has life experience in running an educational district, military training operation, and a Longhorn cattle ranch. We see a pattern here, and asked him what those things have in common.
We also unearthed one or two interesting facts about this man, one of which is an item on his bucket list. Not what we expected, that’s for sure. In Texas, we learned to expect the unexpected.
Thanks again to the CTLR and all of its many and varied members. It was a wonderful start to the Mas Vacas 2021 Tour, and we’ll definitely be back.
