How far did the farming community of Franklin County go to help a fallen brother? The answer is found in the empty fields of producer Kevin Barz. In July 2019, Barz, 63, and his wife, Julia, 49, of Hampton, Iowa, were killed in a motor vehicle accident, leaving behind a devastated family and approximately 1,200 standing acres of corn and soybeans.
