Loos tales comes to campus Feb. 8
By Tyne Morgan, Corner Post staff

Trent Loos will be on the MU campus at 7 p.m. on February 8 in the Monsanto Auditorium of the Life Sciences Building to speak about closing the gap between farmers and consumers. Loos’ topic is Stop Defending Agriculture.

“ I first heard him speak at the Block and Bridle National Convention last year in San Antonio, Texas,” said Amanda Liles, Block and Bridle President. “There is a lot of negative press out there about animal agriculture in general. He addresses those situations and motivates people to get involved. He is a sixth generation farmer, so he was easy to identify with.”

Loos is a sixth generation farmer who has taken his passion for a rural lifestyle to a radio program titled “Loos Tales.” With a background in livestock production, Loos speaks about various agricultural topics with the main theme of narrowing the gap between farmers and consumers. A driving force in his broadcasts is interviewing a diverse group of people in order to keep his show entertaining and educational.

He began his career at a Missouri radio station out of Carrollton. “Loos Tales” aired on KMZU beginning in January 2001.The show branched out and began a program on the Brownfield Network. Now, the show airs on over 100 stations across the Midwest.

Loos has also written articles that have appeared in Drovers Journal, Beef Today, Tri-State Neighbor and on meatingplace.com. He has also had articles published in numerous local radio stations and Ag publications.

Loos’ lecture is being sponsored by Block and Bridle.
