"Minnesota: Rivers and Fields offers a fresh and honest perspective
of how agricultural can co-exist with environmental quality. The series
moves one through cultural, historical, climatological, economic, social,
technological and philosophical aspects of the community of the Minnesota
River basin. This series is a must see for anyone interested in leaving a
healthy economic and environmental legacy for our children to enjoy."

"Minnesota: Rivers and Fields is one of the most educational pieces I have
seen in years. It shows all walks of life and the challenges we face as
we try to make a living and yet maintain the integrity of the bountiful
Minnesota River valley.I especially enjoyed the segment that points out
the importance of citizen involvement and building awareness through
educational and recreational activities!"
Rev. Jerry Hankins
"Minnesota: Rivers and Fields is an incredible resource. The issues
addressed are most pertinent to the region and beyond. The series
covers important aspects of the region that even long-term
residents of the area don't think about, but should.
This is a great educational piece, helpful to introducing the area to
newcomers, for classrooms in high schools and institutions of higher
education, for chambers of commerce and church organizations and other
community groups.Those who supported the project are to be commended
for their foresight in backing such an ambitious endeavor and which
came off so well. Much thanks goes to all those whose names appear on
the credits of each and all segments and particularly to those who
had the vision to begin the project, believed in it and saw it through
to completion."
