This first episode is really great, required watching for anyone who cares about water quality in the Corn Belt. Looking forward to the next episode!
Check out the first episode of a video documentary series by cinematographer Jerry Risius and me on issues facing Iowa: water, cancer, resilient agriculture and rural consolidation. Please share! Thanks.

Hey everybody , I wasn’t depressed enough by the Hawkeye game so I watched a film on Iowa’s water. Seriously though, it’s really good. Starring two of Iowa’s finest: @artcullen.bsky.social and @theswinerepublic.bsky.social

Terrific piece on @artcullen.bsky.social new book. Thank you!
Art Cullen runs a tiny newspaper in the corner of Iowa and his standing-room-only book tour is attracting hundreds of people who spill into hallways. The book went into its second printing after 14 days.
