Talking Corn At Farm Progress Show

The annual Farm Progress Show is underway in Boone, Iowa and leaders from the National Corn Growers Association are on the scene helping promote Iowa corn and NCGA. Corn Commentary Editor, Mark Lambert, known as @CornGuy on Twitter, is doing the driving.

I spoke with Bart Schott, NCGA 1st VP, sitting in the back behind Mark. Bart says they’ve been conducting media interviews and all the issues have come up that include the ethanol waiver, foreign trade and transportation. He’s impressed with the show and commented on how things have changed by pointing to a grain cart across the street from the media tent that holds more corn than his Dad’s granaries had when he was growing up.
