Pictured below are Ron, Todd, and Colton Dunphy, and perhaps a future 7th-generation farmer too. The Dunphys farm in Union County, Iowa and a few years ago received a conservation legacy award from their local conservation office. Attending this event was then sitting Secretary of Agriculture, Bill Northey, who asked Colton, 'What do you think is the biggest challenge facing family farms?' We all know farming can be difficult. It can also be very rewarding. Climate change, drought, floods, disease, volatile market prices, and high costs of production.
