A new year, a new plan.

With the new year I have a new plan. I hope you will join me in the adventure. I spent most of the last 20 years working as a farm broadcaster, I LOVE talking to farmers and telling the story of modern life on the farm. Whether it's someone who embraces all the new technology and science in their farm business or someone who holds to the tried and true, I love talking to farmers.

If you want to meet people who truly love what they do every day, join us at the Farmer's Table, a conversation with farmers about agriculture, what is impacting their farm as a business and their families as consumers.

This is the first conversation of the new year. Iowa Corn Growers' Association President Bruce Rohrwer, and past chairman of the National Pork Board Tim Bierman joined me at the table to talk about the issues and life in rural Iowa.

This is a 40 minute conversation, I am posting the entirety. I will confess, that I am a little rusty, and I don't have my technology where I want it yet, but enjoy this discussion about the statehouse, Congress, drought, volunteering, and the love of farming.
