Honoring Excellence at the Iowa State Fair: Wergin Good Farm Neighbors
In this episode of The Fenceline, we celebrate two Iowa farm families recognized with the Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award. Ernie and Paula Barnes are honored for their decades of service to Iowa agriculture, pork producers and the Iowa State Fair, where they continue to welcome and support the next generation. 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. Hear the stories behind two Iowa families who exemplify what it means to be a good farm neighbor.
