Chad Henderson - Madison, Alabama
A fifth-generation farmer, Chad farms over 8,000 acres with his dad, son, and nephew as a part of Henderson Farms in northern Alabama. Chad grows corn, soybeans, and wheat in what had been mostly a dryland environment until 2012 when he added the first irrigation systems to Henderson Farms. I am waiting for my amber waves of grain as the wheat is starting to turn gold and harvest is only about two weeks away. Our river bottom corn planting is wrapping up, and our double-crop soybean planting will be geared up again after wheat harvest.

The Dakotas are in desperate need of rain to keep enough moisture in the ground. In Alabama, Chad is waiting for his ground to dry out, and in northern Illinois, Dan has wrapped up his planting.
Lee Lubbers - Gregory, South Dakota
Lee and his brother began farming in the 1980s during some of the toughest times for farming, but the lessons they learned still shape them today. It’s never boring in the West River region of South Dakota. We went from straight freezing every morning for two-and-a-half weeks to where it finally warmed up enough to start planting corn and soybeans in the last week. Then just when we got started, we were greeted with a few more mornings of freezing temperatures.
