Can't wait to start watching and hearing about this! Hope it all goes very well. As a fifth-generation Iowan (north central on my mother's side) and a Storm Lake granddaughter and newspaperman's daughter on my father's side, I'm very grateful for your columns.
"Prosperity and conservation are not mutually exclusive"! First hopeful sentence i have read about food and fiber production in Iowa. Keep up your search.
If you get close to Polk County, you might want to stop in and visit County Attorney Kimberly Graham who has some restorative justice practices going on that produced 7% recidivism in 2024. Who does that in the nation? Nobody! It's almost heaven!
Excellent...I'll be watching! Growing up in Spirit Lake, parents owned the Big Spirit Supper Club on the south shore. The gypsy caravans would come each summer, parking between the south end of BS and the north end of East Okoboji. I always wanted to go with them. Now...I wish I were riding along with you guys!!! You have packed so much into this one article that I need to read it again...and again. Always on the right track! Can't wait to hear more!
Fabulous—the "Storm Lake" documentary team are regathering, like cowboys saddled up and reuniting on a mesa, recruiting other hombres. The potential heartland results are heartening to me, sitting here in Winterset. By the way, "Storm Lake" will screen at the Iowa Theater in Winterset at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 26, with Art Cullen present. $20 will get you in, unless you are an IWC paid member, in which case it's free. Contact me at Reporting from Quiltropolis for more info.
Your updates are always awesome that is why I am SUBSCRIBED!
My wife and I are coming from Yankton, SD toward Storm Lake by about early noon hour. I have already logged the address to the paper in. I have a favor to ask of you for your „ear“ on a couple of agricultural message inclusions like with the Iowa Farmers Union activities and an unfolding message emanating from the SAGA of SOGGY SAUERKRAUT and how this could or might help explaining why this growing cancer in rural areas is so difficult and yet so clear to be linked with agriculture. Hope to connect with you tomorrow if only for a few minutes!
Often a collaboration such as you are assembling can yield a previously overlooked perspective. I wish you luck. My PhD Sister and I may soon be taking control of the Rose Farm. What I learned from my Grandfather lacked most of the problems of”Modern Farm Practices “. I realize that we can’t go back to those days, but what can we modify on today’s practices that that will eliminate today’s problems.

Can’t wait.

Sic 'em!! Your writing is the cherry on the top of my summertime banana split reads.
Waylon and the boys, Sirius XM turned up to the max on Roadhouse. Love it! Almost Heaven, Country Roads. Eagerly await the Storm Lake sequel.

If you ask me, it's CAFOS & Koch Brothers. Big Corp having us for lunch...and laughing all the way to the bank!
I also can't wait to see this. Thank you for asking all the right questions!
