Day 33

6/12/2015

It poured last night. We ended up with a total of 2.8" of rain for the storm, and its been overcast & rainy all day. But we were lucky, some of the areas around us at 4 to 5" of rain. The traders like to think that "Rain makes Grain", but I've also seen plenty of times when too much rain as a bad as not enough rain. It's plenty wet in the field today, so I haven't been up to measure. There will not be any fieldwork in this neighborhood for a couple of days.

Hi! My name is Sharon Greif. I grew up with corn in rural Illinois where my dad raised seed corn for an old company called Hulting Hybrids. I detasseled corn in high school & have NO desire to ever do that again!

I graduated from Iowa State University where I studied marketing. After three years of living in the "Big City", I decided to follow my love of agriculture and took a job as a district sales manager for a seed corn company. I was assigned a territory in Iowa, where I met & married a corn and soybean farmer from Prairieburg Iowa. Thirty-two years later, I'm still in Iowa, though I love Illinois also.

I served on the Iowa Corn Grower board in the 90's as a district director. I've also served on the Iowa Women in Ag committee and I currently serve on the board of the Iowa Arabian Horse Association.

I love Iowa State football & basketball, Arabian horses, Boxer dogs, and I am passionate about agriculture & it's story.
