the june @ruralmissouri is here!!! last month marked 2 years with the magazine. it’s truly been the time of my life.

coincidentally, june’s issue includes my biggest milestones yet. 2 stories & my first cover!

here’s what you’ll find inside:
- doris, a consolidated electric cooperative member from mexico who documented her life out west in oil paints.
- the learn2climb @mostateparks program that teaches participants of all ages to rock climb in the great outdoors. special shoutout to @andrew.j.nelson for climbing & posing for me, patient & willing as always.
- on the cover, a family dairy producing special swiss cheeses in ava

check it out!!!!! i’m a big fan of our magazine, our mission & our team (&you will be too!) by @rickibethnelson
