In Anaheim, California earlier this month, central Iowa farmer Patrick Gannon spoke as a part of the grower panel at the Ag Issues Forum sponsored by Bayer CropScience.  Gannon, along with his wife Diane, and son-in-law farm 1,600 acres of corn, soybeans, and seed beans in Colfax, Iowa.  In addition to row crops, Gannon operates a farrow-to-finish hog operation that he’s owned since 1974.  

A graduate of Iowa State with a degree in agricultural business, Gannon is passionate about farming.  He feels that family farming operations like his are often misunderstood, and he wants to help inform the consuming public.  

What does Gannon want to share about his farming operation?  See his response in this video.
