Day 34

6/13/2015

It is still raining & drizzling this morning. Jim is on his way to Japan on a US Grain's Council mission to represent Iowa farmers. He was supposed to be there by now, but yesterday's storms in Chicago messed up his flights. After spending 8 hours in the Cedar Rapids airport, he finally made it to Chicago, where he got to spend the night. He is now on his way to Japan. He's actually feeling a bit glad the forecast is for a lot of wet weather, so he doesn't have to feel guilty about missing out on good days suitable for fieldwork.

Today's picture at noon.

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.
