One family’s efforts to navigate tradition and innovation in American agriculture put them in the spotlight of a documentary.
We talk with Shawn Feikema, a cooperative owner and farmer near Luverne, Minn., about his family’s farm and the impact of his involvement in that film (“From the Heartland”).
Each month on It Takes a Co-op, we introduce you to people working in agriculture and energy, inside and outside CHS, whose ideas and insights will help you, and your cooperative, succeed.
Follow the show wherever you listen to podcasts. Video versions of our episodes are available on the CHS YouTube channel.
