Having grown up on an Iowa Farm---rode in the tractor cade from Iowa and Texas to Washington DC----I’ve had a chance to be more than just the oldest son in a farm family. I’ve had a chance to share my families belief in agriculture---and ask questions that are farm family related.
Justin Glisin---gets a second thank you----we utilize the Iowa Climatologist as well as the South Dakota Climatologist---Laura Edwards—to keep posted on weather changes. This year it’s been dry--- and still is-----when I get a chance Laura and Justin get to share together at the end of our ag show. Talk about people that know ag------and weather---they really do.
