Day 36

6/15/2015

0 Comments

 
We had another 1.1" of rain this morning, bringing the total rainfall for the last 4 days to 4".  Most of the fields right around here handled it pretty well, but I hear that there is water standing in fields west of here. 
I'm working on painting a measuring stick so there will be better visual comparison in the field.  Maybe I'll get  it up tomorrow.  

Jim made it to Japan, but his luggage didn't.  He tells me he went shopping on the equivalent of New York's "5th Ave" in Toyko for some new shirts and pants.  That would be a "first" for this Iowa farmer!  His luggage may never catch up to him.

He met with leaders of one of Japan's largest Ag cooperatives this morning & this afternoon he was meeting with a commercial feed millers group.

    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.
