  • “Texas Country Reporter” with Bob Phillips 2013-2014 Television Season
    “Texas Country Reporter” with Bob Phillips 2013-2014 Television Season B O B P H I L L I P S B I O G R A P H Y For most of us, roads and highways are simply a means to a destination. But for more than 40 years, the back roads of Texas have been home and office for Texas Country Reporter Bob Phillips. He was born in Dallas, but spent much of his youth growing up on the family farm near Lake Texoma. It was there that Bob lived with and learned from the folks he calls the “salt of the earth.” His “Texas Country Reporter” television series is a celebration of the Texas way of life and a tribute to the “real” heroes of our time -- the everyday men and women who make our state such a special place. Bob started his television career at KDFW-TV (Channel 4) in Dallas, Texas, while he was a student at SMU. He was a photographer and a reporter covering news, politics, where he covered several state and national political conventions and the inauguration of President Nixon, and even sports, where he spent several years traveling with the Dallas Cowboys and shooting for NFL Films. His “Country Reporter” series began at KDFW-TV in 1972 and continued on that station until Phillips moved his program to WFAA-TV in October of 1986. Bob’s back roads travels have lasted 36 years and “Texas Country Reporter” is now seen in all television markets in Texas Bob is a 1973 graduate of Southern Methodist University where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Broadcast-Film-Art.

    CapitalFarmCredit.com 877.944.5500 Supporting the Future of Rural America If you want to feel good about today’s youth, attend your local junior livestock show. Stock show season will soon be here, and there is no better time or place to see rural America’s future leaders in action. While developing an appreciation for agriculture, these young people gain self- confidence and learn about sacrifice, perseverance and responsibility — the building blocks of character — as they invest physical work and time in their animals. Capital Farm Credit is proud to support rural youth. You’ll see us at the stock shows this winter, cheering on our young neighbors, purchasing animal projects and presenting awards. Earlier this year, Capital Farm Credit presented thousands of dollars in scholarships to many college- bound students, and we intend to do the same next year. Capital Farm Credit also teamed up with the San Antonio Livestock Show, sponsoring the Junior Commercial Steer Show, providing computer equipment, software and support to enable electronic registration and check-in for livestock entries. We are also proud to sponsor the Commercial Steer Show and Public Speaking Contest at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. In addition, we partnered with Texas State 4-H Roundup this year, reaching more than 4,000 students competing for prizes and scholarships. That partnership also provided us the opportunity to sponsor the state 4-H horse show and shooting contest. We not only believe in our youth but also in the next generation of agricultural producers. We hosted three Next Generation Agricultural Conferences this year, providing resources to hundreds of attendees to help them run their farming and ranching operations effectively and efficiently.
