A farm family in Delta Junction, Alaska, has taken on the personal challenge of trying to help the state combat food security.  Bryce Wrigley and his son, Milo, have created the Alaska Flour Company to maximize their 1,700 acres of small grains and cover crops they grow.  Initially it began as a flour milling operation, but has evolved into a packaged goods and bakery operation too.  Bryce explains their business model to Pam Jahnke.

Landus and Conduit have announced the launch of an unprecedented healthcare program- powered by Momentum Ag, which is designed to meet the needs of farmers and businesses that support farming communities. Landus CEO Matt Carstens says this is a problem that has been highlighted to Landus for some time now, and while others have failed at offering rural healthcare like this in the past, he is excited to get farmers taken care of.

Rick Zemlicka’s family sesquicentennial farm in Iowa County, has been a cornerstone of his heritage since his great-great-grandfather purchased the original 80 acres in 1874. Arriving from Bohemia with his parents in 1860, his ancestor expanded the farm to 320 acres over the years. The original farmstead included basic buildings and facilities for a modest mixed operation with cows, pigs, chickens, and a large garden. Despite facing significant challenges, including the tragic loss of his great-great-grandfather’s oldest son in 1895 and hardships during the Great Depression, the farm has persevered. Rick’s great-grandfather rebuilt the barn and house in the early 1920s, and these structures still stand today. Rick reflects fondly on childhood memories, such as playing near his father’s plowing and enjoying time with cousins in the creeks. The farm remains a vital part of his life, and he hopes it will continue to be passed down to future generations.
