In episode 19, anchor Brock Yordy runs down the importance of sunblock to your safety arsenal, then interviews National Ground Water Association (NGWA) President Brian Snelton about education and serving the industry.

“I encourage more people to get involved in their state- and national-level organization,” Snelton says. “You get that reward of talking to other people and helping. … We need volunteers.
