    McGREGOR and DECORAH, IOWA (CNN iReport)  ---  I've had the

    pleasure to spend the past two weeks documenting a series of sustainable agriculture stories here in NE Iowa. The following is my final report from this area – pictorially documenting a day in the life of two organic, sustainable farms.
