Man trades railroad wage for Iowa farm dream
Brent Hackett quit a $14 hour railroad job to buy a farm on 160 acres in Iowa. He now raises 80 acres of corn and 50 head of cattle with minimal farming background, hoping beef prices rise and debt ease. His wife Becky and four daughters share the toll, as he balances debt, old equipment, and a slower pace to be home at night.

Donkey Protects Sheep Herd From Coyotes on Iowa Farm
Waine and Vickie Kirby stave off sheep losses after introducing Jenny the donkey to their Polypays flock south of Ladora. Jenny, six to eight months old, herds and guards the flock, complemented by two Great Pyrenees and an Anatolian. The strategy ended daytime sheep killings, preserving a herd of 400 to 450 animals amid rising predator pressure.
