Kevan “Flea” Hueftle We are proud to present U.S. Paralympic Athlete, Rancher, and Father Kevan Hueftle. In 2005 Kevan also known as “Flea” was involved in a hunting accident that led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee. Consequently, Flea struggled with alcoholism due to the tragic loss of his limb and the constant pain he suffered as an amputee. Through perseverance and grit, Flea decided to defy the odds and would eventually compete on the US Track and Field teams and medal as an elite Paralympic Athlete. Kevan is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with limb loss or addiction.Kevan is a husband, father, rancher, and motivational speaker. He has been a member of the U.S. Paralympic track and field team. Works at Lazy Creek Beef Company LLCstarting when he was 20 years old. He had been hunting and while pulling the gun out of the truck, it went off, shooting him in the foot. After several surgeries his leg was amputated below the knee.“To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.” Don’t forget to like the podcast on all platforms and leave a review where ever you listen!Websitewww.Farm4Profit.comShareable episode linkhttps://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.comEmail addressFarm4profitllc@gmail.comPhone515.207.9640Subscribe to YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSR8c1BrCjNDDI_Acku5XqwFollow us on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@farm4profitConnect with us on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/Farm4ProfitLLC/ Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Full Episode
Hey listeners, welcome back to the Farm for Profit podcast. This podcast is going to have two introductions. It's going to be a little bit different than normal, but we want to share with you ahead of this episode that we had a great conversation. Husker Harvest Days, this is going to be one of the most amazing stories that we get to share. Two things. It's probably going to get turned off.
Some of you are never going to get all the way to the end of this episode. Don't. And I would encourage you, listen. Stick it out. But two, I want to give you a warning. Between the 10-minute mark and the 20-minute mark of this episode, if you are a person that gets queasy, doesn't like potential gruesome stories, there are no visuals.
If you're watching this on YouTube, there is no visual that is going to cause any of this. But there is a portion of this story that... If your stomach is weak, we want you to know it's between the 10-minute mark and the 20-minute mark. You're welcome to fast-forward through that. You're not going to miss the meaning behind this episode. But I know that because I sometimes get that way.
My family gets that way. Maybe this is a message more for my sister than anybody else.
I was going to say, everybody I know will be all right with it.
Yeah, you're also a former firefighter that is in a position in which you can... A little calloused. A little calloused. It's a fantastic episode. Super pumped to share it with you, but wanted to give you a little bit of that warning. So if you're here, stay in it with us. This is going to be fantastic.
If that is the type of person that you are, 10 minute, 20 minute mark, fast forward, come back and join us.
Here we go.

So here to talk nitrogen stabilizers with a great representative from Corteva, I've got Andrew Luzum here. And welcome back to the podcast. Thank you. Appreciate it. You are in your role with Corteva. You get a lot of pushback. Maybe not pushback, but maybe there's a lot of myths that are created. What are some other things that you can help debunk for our audience as we talk today?
