In this episode of The Water Table on the road, we’re at Minnesota Farmfest. Guest host, Justin Sander, caught up with a couple of drainage contractors to find out where they think the industry is headed, the challenges they think lie ahead, and what keeps them going.

This conversation is with Mike Litzau of Litzau Farm Drainage in Atwater, Minnesota. He’s been working in the industry since he was 10 years old, so he knows what he’s talking about!
