Watch Episode 6 of “Stories of Stewardship” Video Series

“Farmers have a unique perspective of longevity and sustainability because our livelihoods depend on it, as do
our kids’ livelihoods, and their kids,” Aaron Kjelland, a wheat farmer in Park River, North Dakota, says.

Kjelland and his family’s farm is featured in Episode 6 of U.S. Wheat Associates’ (USW) “Stories of Stewardship” video series. Watch the episode below to learn why wheat has been a cornerstone of Kjelland’s diversified operation for generations.

 

USW’s new video series focuses on the sustainable practices applied by five farm families growing different classes of wheat across the range of conditions in the United States. They share a commitment to farm in ways that sustain economic viability to produce safe, wholesome wheat for the world while ensuring the land is passed on in better condition for future generations.

USW wants to thank Kjelland; Art Schultheis of Colton, Washington; Nick Jorgensen of Ideal, S.D.; Tom Cannon of Blackwell, Okla.; and Ben and Stephanie Bowsher of Harrod, Ohio for sharing their stories. To see previous episodes of the series, visit Stories of Stewardship.
