Storm Chaser Encourages Farmers To Pursue Their Passions

(With reporting from Simon Crouch)

Regina's Greg Johnson has come a long way from being a wedding photographer.

He now chases storms and tornadoes for a living, and has been featured in National Geographic.

Johnson was one of the featured speakers at the recent South West Agricultural Conference in Ridgetown.

He calls what he does an alternative to a more traditional line of work.

Johnson used lessons he has learned from pursuing his passions to encourage SWAC attendees to pursue theirs.

Johnson also has a Toronto-produced television show starting production next week.
