The Great Plains is rich in history and from it are a number of lessons that can be applied to today's way of life. Join us on the journey each weekday as we explore the past and look to the future.

Can you believe that Steve Mapes from Milford Center, OH has been taking picture for 41 years? I doubt most people who have never been involved in taking livestock photos have any idea what an ordeal it truly is. Steve says his motto is “hire me to come take you pictures and save your marriage.” Long overdue Steve is on Loos Tales today.

“I survived D-Day Trent I don’t this mule can hurt me” That is what the late Bill Nienhueser from Concordia, MO told me as he climbed aboard 11 The Mule back in 2007. Bill was 89 years old at the time and I was quite nervous. The moral of the story is Bill taught me what John Wayne always said is true “Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.” Bill Nienhueser sure made that come to lift for me one day in a soybean field in Missouri on the Houston E. Mull Cattle Drive.

For the second day in a row Lindsi (age 10) fills in as guest host for her dad Trent Loos on Loos Tales. Today she talks to her older sister Libbi and ask about the past weekend’s activities in Omaha, NE and what is called Urban Plunge. The moral of the story “don’t take for granted what you have.” Enjoy what Dad thinks is the best Loos Tales ever.

This was an amazing hour spent with my best listener Florence Simonian does not miss a single day on 1010 KSIR Farm Radio for NE Colorado. Although she seems to second guess her first question even though I liked it. Enjoy I did.
