The Meadowlark’s Call

January 23, 2025 / ,

By Mad Agriculture

Albert Lea Seed is proud to partner with Mad Agriculture to bring the story of John and Halee Wepking at Meadowlark Mill & Farm to the small screen.

Halee and John Wepking’s relationship to their land and growth within their community is a tale of unexpected life changes and mentorship. When their experienced teacher Paul Bickford passed away in 2022, Halee and John immediately were thrust into a position of leadership and responsibility. Set in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, this story of farmers turned regional leaders illustrates the power of community, commitment and—well—heritage wheat.  

Thanks to John and Halee for having us out and to Jane Cavagnero, Kirk Horton and Jonnah Mellenthin Perkins from Mad for letting us be involved in bringing it to the small screen.
