Over 200 short stories on rural topics from Welsch’s unique perspective were produced by CBS Eye TOO Productions during Postcards From Nebraska’s first run, from 1988 through 1999. Each of the RFD-TV Postcards shows will contain at least four of these original, timeless stories about small-town life in Nebraska.

Postcards From Nebraska on RFD-TV will premiere on Sunday nights beginning in September.  RFD-TV’s corporate headquarters are located in Elkhorn.
