Leanne Harter brought us the monthly Story County Report with information about the 2010 Census. Then Gina McAndrews and Ken Birt came in to tell us about STAR1, a Search and Rescue all volunteer organization that responds to lost and missing person incidents in Iowa and the surrounding area. Shifting to Sustainable Farming, Farm Reporter Gina McAndrews and Susan Franzen visited the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment, on the ISU Campus, where lab director Jerry Hatfield showed us around and explained the work of the lab as a Climate Hub. Following up on Hatfield's discussion, we heard from small farm proponent John Ikerd, who also gave us a preview of the film "Right to Harm" a film produced by Hourglass Films. The May 29 Iowa premiere is co-hosted by Hourglass Films, Iowa Alliance for Responsible Agriculture and four other Iowa organizations.
