Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Rural Ruckus Radio, host John Monson sits down with Perry Aasness, Government Relations and Legislative Affairs leader at Compeer Financial. Together, they dive into the realities facing rural communities as critical legislation stalls — legislation that could support financing for hospitals, ambulance services, senior care facilities, and other essential infrastructure across rural America.Perry breaks down why this moment matters, the bipartisan momentum behind the effort, and why this isn’t a request for more federal spending — it’s simply asking for permission and authority to act.This conversation is honest, direct, and rooted in a shared belief: rural communities deserve access, dignity, and opportunity.If you care about the future of the places that feed and fuel America, this episode is worth your time.
