In this episode, host Emmery Mehlhoff visits with Senator Janne Myrdal, who farms with her husband and children in Edinburg, North Dakota. She did not always call Pembina County her home, however. Senator Myrdal is originally from Norway and moved to North Dakota after she married a farm boy she met on a mission trip. Since then, North Dakota has been her home.
Senator Janne Myrdal talks about her long-time potato storage taxation fight, her work for equitable ag land assessment across counties, the start of the rural caucus, the importance of political integrity, and how Lutefisk is not truly Norwegian but is an American-Norwegian concoction.
