Sunny & nice today.  We put up the measuring stick yesterday, so now you should be able to watch the corn's progress.  Right now it is about 2 feet tall.  

The ground dried out enough from all the rains that we were able to sidedress Nitrogen on some of our other fields this afternoon.  Corn in this area looks really good, but I talked to a friend in Missouri today & they still can't get any soybeans planted and their corn is underwater due to all the rain they've been getting.   I hear that much of the South is extremely wet.  I hope they get a drier weather pattern soon.

    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.
