For over 60 years at WGN Radio, Orion was more than just a broadcaster; he was the primary link between the American farmer and the world. His booming voice provided the daily heartbeat of agribusiness, offering steady guidance and market wisdom through decades of change.

We are especially grateful for his lifelong commitment to the FFA. As a former member himself, he never forgot his roots, serving as a powerful advocate for the next generation of agricultural leaders. His voice inspired countless students to wear the blue corduroy jacket with pride, ensuring the future of American farming remained in capable hands.

Thank you, Orion.

Broadcasting has lost one of its greatest pioneers. WGN Radio mourns the passing of Orion Samuelson at the age of 91.
