Jerry grew up on a crop and dairy farm in Southern Minnesota. After graduating from Wells Easton High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education from the University of Minnesota. After graduation Jerry returned to the family farm consisting of 600 acres of corn, soybeans, alfalfa, sweet corn, peas and 100 dairy cows. In fall of 1995, after 18 years, he traded the milking parlor for a radio microphone, and still gets up at 3:15AM every day. In addition to Farm Broadcasting, covering the farm news, weather, markets, meetings, county fairs, FFA conventions and so on, Jerry continues to farm in Southern Minnesota. He's on the air from 5:00 to 7:00 with Mornings on the Farm and then reports through out the day. His wife of 40 years, Louise, is an Occupational Health Nurse for the Jennie-O-Turkey Store. They have two children: Laura who finished Graduate school in Michigan and now is in Burnsville, and Steve, who received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh, and works for Eli Lilly in Indianapolis.
