A round up of this week's stories in ag, farming, environment and more.

Why you can trust Investigate Midwest
The Saturday Harvest 🌾
Published:

Throughout the week we share stories from other media outlets and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, because we think they are stories important to our community of friends---those of you that are interested in topics like farming, Big Ag, climate change, energy, environmental issues, pesticide use, agricultural workers, food politics, rural America and more. On Saturdays, we send you some of the week's highlights. If you have time for a cup of coffee while you read, all the better.
