Hiram Jensen

Science and Government Reporter

Hiram Jensen, an Iowa State Agronomy graduate, initially planned to return to his family's Wisconsin dairy farm. However, a severe drought during his senior year highlighted a crucial gap in his knowledge: the broader market, climate, and policy forces impacting agriculture. Recognizing farmers' need for accessible, timely information, Jensen shifted from farming to agricultural journalism. His data-driven articles now equip farmers with vital insights, from new techniques to market analysis, helping them thrive in an increasingly complex industry.
