In this episode of The Fenceline, we celebrate two Iowa farm families recognized with the Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award.

We also visit with fifth-generation farmer Will Longinaker of Longinaker Farms in Fremont County about his family’s cattle operation, efforts to modernize their feedlot and cow-calf operation, and their commitment to caring for the land and community.
