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!
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.
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!
Hi, Art: I am a big fan, but please quit jabbing the finger back-and-forth accusing cancer etiology in Iowa from environmental (rural) factors. Go to the University of Iowa College of medicine and in particular their school of public health and get the straight skinny on the prevalence and incidence of cancers in Iowa and if they’re truly is a large environmental cause.
Thanks. I just spoke with Dr James Merchant, founding dean of the College of Public Health, last week. He makes an explicit connection between consolidated agriculture and cancer, especially lung cancer.
Way to go, Art! We need you now more than ever!

Can’t wait.
The Navajo people said, “ when the land is sick, the people are sick.”
This is good and important work. Thanks,Art.

Sic 'em!! Your writing is the cherry on the top of my summertime banana split reads.

If you ask me, it's CAFOS & Koch Brothers. Big Corp having us for lunch...and laughing all the way to the bank!
Love, love, love that Liz Garst is involved! She knows her stuff across industries and has receipts!
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.

I also can't wait to see this. Thank you for asking all the right questions!

Thanks, Art: I needed to hear the science.
