Mike Johanns--Lifetime of Service, Rooted in Agriculture
In this episode we visit with Mike Johanns, a lifelong public servant whose career has shaped Nebraska and our great country. Mike Johanns grew up on an Iowa dairy farm, learning early on the values of hard work and community. He brought those values to Nebraska, where he served as a county commissioner, city council member, mayor of Lincoln, governor of Nebraska, U.S. Senator, and as the 28th U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Few people have seen Nebraska and American agriculture from as many angles—or contributed to it as deeply—as Mike Johanns. Today he continues to serve agriculture through his work as a board member of Deere & Co. and Corteva.
