Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
In 2016, three Iowa farmers, Keith Putenney, Arlene Bates, and Lavern Johnson, were forced to surrender their land through eminent domain to be used for the Dakota Access pipeline. They relate how the installation of the pipeline has affected their land, and in turn how it has affected their livelihood. These three landowners represent a larger group who are suing the Iowa Utility Board and the Dakota Access. On September 12, 2018, Iowa landowners along with Native American indigenous activists stand together as their case is brought before the Iowa supreme court.
