Tyne Morgan
Tyne Morgan is doing what she calls her "dream job." She’s a Missouri girl who has generations of agriculture rooted in her blood. Through public speaking and various contest teams, she actually plunged into broadcast at the young age of 16, working for the local radio station KMZU in Carrollton, Mo.
Tyne attended the University of Missouri-Columbia where she majored in Agricultural Journalism, with an emphasis in broadcast, graduating in 2008.
After spending numerous hours on the road as Ag Day and U.S. Farm Report National Reporter, in 2014, Tyne was named the first female Host of U.S. Farm Report. She’s only the fourth host of the show, following Orion Samuelson, Max Armstrong and John Phipps. As Host and Executive Producer of the show, Tyne continues to take a deep dive into the news and issues farmers are facing today, while also sharing stories from across rural America. She has won several awards for her reporting and storytelling including The Doan Award.
More important than any other title she holds today, is her title of “Mom.” Tyne and her husband James have two daughters and call Missouri home.
