A respected journalist, White brings more than two decades of experience covering rural communities, state politics, and the people who power our food system. Known for his storytelling and authentic connection to Nebraska producers, he has spent his career spotlighting the role of agriculture in the state's economy, from county fairs and FFA classrooms to farms and ranches across Nebraska. "KRVN is the rural voice of Nebraska for a reason," said Steve White, KRVN Farm Director. "This team has a long history of serving farm and ranch families. I'm thrilled to join a station that's part of the fabric of Nebraska, and I pledge to bring the same passion and trust we've worked hard to build together." In his new role, White will lead farm programming on KRVN and contribute to the broader Rural Radio Network, delivering timely ag news, market coverage, and features that highlight the families and operations behind Nebraska agriculture. We're thrilled to welcome Steve White to the team," said Tim Marshall, CEO of the Nebraska Rural Radio Association. "KRVN and the Rural Radio Network are the most powerful voices in agriculture, not just in Nebraska, but across the region. Adding Steve White reinforces that. He's a trusted voice who understands rural communities, and he'll help us continue delivering the gold standard in farm broadcasting." "Steve's background in broadcast journalism and deep understanding of rural life make him a perfect fit," added Tyler Cavalli, KRVN Operations Manager. "Our listeners will instantly recognize and appreciate his voice." "He's not just a reporter, he's one of the region's most respected ag communicators," said Bryce Doeschot, Operations Manager for the Rural Radio Network. "Steve's experience in front of the camera and behind the mic will serve our 14-station network well." White grew up in South Dakota and graduated from South Dakota State University, though his Nebraska roots run deep. His father earned a graduate degree from the University of Nebraska, and Steve grew up cheering for the Huskers. He and his wife, Sara, live in Grand Island with their three children and are active community volunteers. Over the years, White has received numerous awards from the Nebraska Broadcasters Association, Associated Press, Nebraska Sorghum Board, Nebraska Corn Board, and Nebraska FFA. In 2015, he was named an Admiral in the Nebraska Navy by Governor Dave Heineman. White's addition underscores NRRA's continued commitment to trusted, boots-on-the-ground reporting and ensures Nebraska's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities remain at the heart of what we do.
