Iowa has over 6,000 wind turbines and Nyemaster's Kathy Law has worked with developers and farmers to site nearly half of them. CBS Evening News naturally had to speak with the attorney they called “the conduit for Iowa wind" as part of this story.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting a 25% downturn in farm profits, but some farmers in Iowa are installing wind turbines to offset some of those losses. There are now more than 6,000 wind turbines in Iowa that churn out approximately 60% of the state's energy.
Yesterday we celebrated two exciting milestones in Nyemaster’s century-plus history: the launch of a refreshed brand featuring a bold new look and the official opening of our new lobby and conference room space on the 13th floor of the EMC Building in Des Moines!
Our holiday artwork this year, "Loess Hills Sunset," is again the work of Nyemaster attorney Frank Harty, who created this "plein air" oil on canvas work in frigid temperatures one recent winter in western Iowa.
Happy holidays to all and best wishes for 2024!
