"Carson brings a fresh perspective to our reporting efforts that are broadcast on over 45 radio stations, and are read on our website, OklahomaFarmReport.Com and our daily farm and ranch news email that is one of the most respected electronic newsletters in the agricultural industry.
Raised on his family's wheat and cattle operation in Yukon, Okla., Horn exhibited and evaluated livestock, participated in public speaking contests and campaigned for State FFA office during high school.
