À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to the Heart of Rural America podcast. I’m your host, Amanda Radke ​-- a South Dakota cattle rancher, wife, mom of four, children’s book author, and motivational speaker.

I started this show with a simple goal in mind -- to share the untold stories of the often-overlooked independent farmer and rancher. On this program, We’ll discuss the challenges that face rural America and the anti-animal agriculture agenda that seeks to eliminate our way of life. But in the face of these ongoing battles, we’ll explore impactful solutions and meaningful pathways to profitability in order to keep producers on the land, to safeguard our private property rights, and to keep meat, dairy, and eggs on the dinner table.

And in stark contrast to the ugly, divisive headlines in today’s mainstream media, "The Heart of Rural America" will celebrate the faith, family values, patriotism, and work ethic of the incredible people I meet in my travels as an agricultural speaker. I hope you’ll be inspired by these agricultural entrepreneurs and rural families, just as I am.

Now let’s hit the dusty trail together as we uncover The Heart of Rural America. - Amanda

    • Senator Mark Lapka's Bold Plan to Protect Rural Landowners from Eminent Domain
      Jan 19 2026

      In this powerful episode of The Heart of Rural America, host Amanda Radke welcomes back Senator Mark Lapka of South Dakota for a no-holds-barred conversation on property rights, grassroots activism, and groundbreaking legislation that could reshape the future for rural landowners.

      Fresh off a record-breaking rally at the South Dakota Capitol, Senator Lapka shares exclusive insights on two major legislative efforts:

      👉 HJR 5001 – A proposed constitutional amendment that would ban eminent domain for private gain in South Dakota, protecting landowners from seizure by private corporations.

      👉 SB 88 – The Bosley Bill – Named after farmer Jared Bosley, this bill addresses invasive land surveys and aligns South Dakota law with a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that protects private property from unauthorized corporate intrusion.

      Amanda and Senator Lapka reflect on the rising momentum of the property rights movement, the power of grassroots advocacy, and why farmers and ranchers across the state—and the country—are stepping up to defend their land.

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

      • Why eminent domain reform is critical for rural communities
      • How the 2026 rally became a turning point for South Dakota politics
      • The backstory behind the Bosley Bill and its legal foundation
      • What HJR 5001 would change about the state constitution
