Inspired by European grass-based dairies while serving in the military, Iraqi War veteran Michael Diehn is trying his hand at farming in Minnesota, according to the Rochester Post-Bulletin.
Diehn, who after being wounded in a land mine explosion served a second tour of duty in Iraq, is drawing on his farm roots while he works as an intern on a family farm operation in Canton, Minn.
The story notes that Diehn will work on the farm and enroll in a Land Stewardship Project Farm Beginnings Program, a farming mentoring program, to start his own farm.
