He also chronicles the history of agriculture in Iowa, the challenges we're facing today and the people who are trying to make a difference. Host Charity Nebbe spoke with the lifelong Storm Lake resident and the co-owner and editor of the 'Storm Lake Times Pilot.' (This episode was originally produced on Oct. 3, 2025)
