DUANE TOEWS - FARM DIRECTOR

     Duane is currently the Farm Director for KFRM 550 AM radio. His live broadcast shift is from 7:30 am to 10:00 am and he also has a 10-minute segment for the noon news. Duane also does the 11:40 Market Update and Ag News on the sister station KCLY. 

     Prior to joining the broadcast world in August, 2001, he was a county extension agent for nine years. Why the switch?  He's claiming it was a mid-life crisis and it happened early enough that he may have another.  The jobs are really very similar in terms of airing news and information to producers, hopefully improving their bottom line. His wife just says he likes to talk a lot so it's a natural fit.

     Angie and Duane have three children and they tend to be our own little Kansas Tornado. Family vacations tend to coincide with livestock shows.  They have a lot of fun showing cattle, sheep, and hogs.  

     When Duane gets a free moment (few and far between) he enjoys reading western novels.
