A state-wide path of destruction, a life-saving kidney donation, creating community through communication and rebuilding an FFA program

Tune in to today's episode of Dairy Delivery for the latest stores from the Dairy Star. First, a farmer's perspective from the recent tornado devastation in Wisconsin from Jeremy Nehls who witnessed some of the damage including the loss of several barns at Schwandt Family Farm. Another story highlights the bond between a father and son duo — Wayne and Derek. In April, Wayne donated a kidney to Derek and both are now recovering from the successful surgery. We also highlight mental health from first-generation farmer Josh Steiner who is using his family experiences to check in with his neighbors often. For the final conversation, we hear from how a call from a former student led Ryan Holthaus to an agriculture education and FFA program in Iowa.
