In this week's episode of the Agweek Podcast, we check in with Mikkel Pates who went to Stephen, Minnesota to learn about a home-grown ag equipment company that has turned 50 years old.

We will also hear from Emily Beal who visited a North Dakota cattle ranch that is taking its beef directly to consumers, and we caught up with Nick Revier of SESVanderHave for this week's Sugarbeet Spotlight.
