The corn is now approaching 7 feet tall.  We are probably a week away from tasseling.  The cool weather we've been having is slowing all the crop down around here.   We are almost 1 week behind on heat units now.  This field still looks pretty good, but when I drive around the countryside, a lot of fields are showing signs of going backwards due to too much rain.

    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.
