Day 41

Yesterday the weather was beautiful.  Corn is really starting to take off.   Rain is on its way today.  It is thundering in the distance as I write this.    June is still on the cool side.  We are 64 GDUs (Growing Degree Units) behind normal for the month.  A GDU is a measurement of heat units for corn.  We should average about 20 GDUs each day.  This puts us about 3 days behind average.  I can believe it - our air conditioner has hardly been on this month.   Tomorrow is the first day of Summer!

    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.
