Through afifliation with Illinois Corn Growers Association, we were approached by the Corn Farmers Coalition. “The Corn Farmers Coalition is an alliance of family corn farmers from across the United States and represents tens of thousands of dues-paying farmers. The coalition formed in 2008 to educate policy-makers in Washington about how tech-savvy, innovative farmers are growing more corn every year – for food, animal feed, ethanol and exports.”
Grant, Logan, Hudson and Elizabeth participated as one of the feature farm families from across the country. Although standing in a corn eld at 5 a.m. with two young children was a bit challenging (for parents, video and photo crews), we enjoyed the experience and strongly support the positive message being shared by the Coalition.
