About the Series...

Whether its agricultural crops, livestock or dairy, we all depend on these commodities for trade and sustenance. The upper Midwest has been at the forefront of agriculture technology with advances in alternative fuels and wind power. Everyone is impacted by the processes, transportation and consumption of these commodities.

Tune in to learn more about the unique accomplishments, important issues and concerns that can affect your dinner table and to better understand and set straight some of the stereotypes about the Midwestern farmer.
