Ep. 1 The Hoksey Story (Carroll Hoksbergen)

Our founder, Carroll Hoksbergen, has an incredible story. It was weird for a farmer to do no till beans in the 70’s. He was the first in Iowa. It was weird to grow prairie, considering his ancestors ripped it up 75 years earlier. It was weird to chase his dreams in the midst of perfectly placed corn rows and bean fields. This is Carroll’s Story, and our very first episode.
