Agweek reporter Noah Fish talks to Mikkel Pates about his legendary career in journalism. On this episode, Mikkel shares his memories of the farm crisis and the Midwest murders of 1983 -- first when a failed farmer and his son lured a bank president and loan officer near Ruthton, Minn. to shoot them dead. Then months later, when farmer and tax protester Gordon Kahl killed two U.S. Marshals in shootout in Medina, N.D. – leading to a massive manhunt where a SWAT team fired hundreds of rounds into Kahl's farmhouse in Heaton, N.D. Kahl eventually died in another shootout in which he killed a local sherriff. Mikkel then shares stories from his many trips abroad to report, and reflects on life after journalism.
