In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight podcast, Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Matt Durian, the Livestock Event Manager at the American Royal, a Kansas City tradition that has been celebrating agriculture since 1899. The American Royal offers nearly half a million participants the opportunity to engage in high-quality events, including livestock shows, rodeos, and educational outreach programs. Matt shares his journey, from his beginnings in Paso Robles, California, to his current role managing the American Royal's livestock events.
With the 2024 American Royal Livestock Show scheduled from October 9-27, Matt discusses the exciting new additions to this year’s event, such as the introduction of the Supreme Bull and Supreme Open Female Heifer Show. He emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and innovation, which has allowed the American Royal to remain a vital part of the agricultural community for over a century.
Matt also highlights the educational programs designed to bring Kansas City students closer to agriculture. Through hands-on field trips during breeding cattle week, local students will have the chance to meet exhibitors and learn about food production and animal care. One of the show's most thrilling moments, the Royalty Drive on October 19th, brings together the top market animals in a spectacular competition that Matt describes as a "goosebump" moment for all involved.
For visitors attending the event from out of town, Matt recommends sampling some of Kansas City’s famous barbecue, including local favorites like Slabs BBQ. He also encourages a drive by the site of the new American Royal facility, currently under construction.
For those interested in attending or participating in the 2024 American Royal, registration and ticket information can be found at americanroyal.com. Entries for the livestock show are open until September 10th to avoid late fees, and all 17 days of events will be broadcast live via Walton Webcasting for those who can't attend in person.
Matt shares his passion for agriculture and his commitment to ensuring that the American Royal continues to leave a lasting impact on future generations. He also invites companies and individuals to get involved through sponsorships or partnerships. Whether attending in person or watching from home, the 2024 American Royal promises to be an unforgettable celebration of agriculture and community.
