An Illinois grain farmer who has become one of the world’s most recognized names in ag podcasting was in Devils Lake on Thursday. Rob Sharkey, known as ‘The Shark Farmer,’ spoke at the Lake Region Extension Roundup. Sharkey said farmers speak a universal language. “Everybody thinks that their world is the most important world, but the struggles that farmers and ranchers overcome, that’s the story I always wanted to tell the rest of the industry.” Along with being a farmer, Sharkey owns a whitetail deer hunting outfitter and hosts multiple TV shows on RFD-TV and PBS.
