According to the paper’s Biz Buzz blog, “Perkins last day here will be Aug. 29. He has covered the farm crisis, the ethanol boom and other big changes in Iowa agriculture in 25 years with the Register. He has won multiple awards from the National Association of Agricultural Journalists (and served as president of the group), Society of American Business Editors and Writers and other organizations. He was nominated six times for the Pulitzer Prize in a five-year span at the Register.”
