He is finishing up one last story (which will air later this month), but today is the official last day on the job for Worthington-based reporter Mark Steil. He has been with MPR since 1978, and has decided it is time to retire.

During his four decades with MPR, he's seen a lot of changes in farm country. He joined MPR News' Phil Picardi to talk about the state of agriculture in Minnesota.
