Tyne Morgan
U.S. Farm Report
Host
Tyne Morgan, host of “U.S. Farm Report,” is doing what she calls her dream job. She is a Missouri girl who has generations of agriculture rooted in her blood. Born and raised in Lexington, Mo., FFA was a big part of her childhood. Through public speaking and various contest teams, she plunged into broadcast at the young age of 16. While in high school, she worked at KMZU radio providing the daily farm market updates, as well as local, state and national agriculture news. Although Tyne always knew she wanted to go into TV, it was then she discovered farm broadcasting was her calling.

Tyne attended the University of Missouri–Columbia, where she majored in agriculture journalism with an emphasis in broadcast. During her college years, she was a farm broadcast intern for Brownfield Ag News and was the 2006 Missouri State Fair Queen.
