  1. I read fish farming finds its way to land-locked Midwest because I love fish.
    Scott Garwood harvests fish. Specifically, thousands of an Australian freshwater species called barramundi, a sweet, white flaky flesh — in large tanks inside a warehouse. Indoor aquaculture is making its way into the U.S. Within the next two years, Garwood hopes to expand to 48 tanks and become part of a fish producing cooperative with other Midwest fish farms. The central Iowa fishery recently paired with VeroBlue Farms to build an indoor operation expected to produce 4 million pounds of fish annually by 2017.

  2. Elderly Man Receives Gift from Cashiers
    Jenny Karpen was not the grinch when an elderly man went through her lane when she working. He couldn't afford to pay all of his food so she took money out of her pocket to help this poor old guy. He was also buying things for his pet. He handed her money and asked her if it was enough. She told the guy no then proceeded to give him $40 to help him pay for groceries. The guy who was checked out after him tried to give Jenny some money back for her good deed, but she could not accept it due to Walmart's policy.

  3. Elderly Man Receives Gift from Cashier
    Jenny Karpen, a Wal Mart cashier, dug into her own pocket to help an elderly man pay for his groceries that he could not afford. Karpen said some of it was food and some of it was for his pet. When she was done ringing it up the man handed her some money and asked if it was enough. When she told him it was not, the elderly man started taking stuff back. Karpen then took $40 out of her pocket to pay for the rest of his groceries.

  4. Fish farming finds its way to land-locked Midwest
    He isn't growing corn or cattle he's growing fish, Specifically, thousands of an Australian freshwater species called barramundi.Farmers are increasingly embracing the practice as a way to stay in agriculture and participate in what's billed as "green" food production, with virtually no chance of their fish spreading disease or genetic mutation into the wild.

  5. in northeastern Nebraska, 52-year-old Scott Garwood, isn't growing corn or cattle — it's fish.Farmers are increasingly embracing the practice as a way to stay in agriculture and participate in what's billed as "green" food production, with virtually no chance of their fish spreading disease or genetic mutation into the wild. And such tank systems can be placed almost anywhere from Minnesota to Florida because temperature and water quality can be controlled.

  6. Fisheries are growing in the US. We are behind every other in the development, but we are growing in the industry now. Indoor fisheries are actually more efficient and cleaner than harvesting from the sea. The water is cleaned and re-circulated back into the tanks so that the fish are not sitting in their manure. The amount of fish that actually come from the US is a very small percent but with aquaculture that could all change.

  7. This guy is growing fish in the U.S. We're part of this growing industry now. Farmers are rapidly embracing the practice. Indoor fisheries are now more cleaner and more timely than harvesting from the seaaa.

  9. I just clicked on the first one: fish farming finds its way to land-locked Midwest.
    After I read the darn thing I realized that like everybody chose the same one. So, I'll be brief. Pretty much, fish farming is spreading from sea-touching states to the land locked ones, including NE. These fish called barramundi are being raised for money, kind of like cows. Cool, huh? It's a good food source, a good job growing opportunity, and an economic booster. Plus, fish is pretty healthy too! It's a win win win win. :)
