Getting to see and spend time with the local farmers in the area is something I have loved doing since the first time my gramps took me for “morning coffee”. I have always found farmers to be one of my favorite crowds of people, and there are none better than the ones found in Central Illinois! Building relationships with the people (that’s right women too!) of the community makes me feel connected and empowered. I have the world at my fingertips and a whole lot of people who know me and are cheering me on in all that I hope to achieve. I am often working on my class work during “down-times” and I have been known to get some grief if I spend too much time socializing and not enough studying, ON THE JOB!! (Another Highlight: often time’s farmers have sons, haha)
I am so excited for this season to continue. I love seeing the products of all the hours of hard work and dedication that the farmers of Mclean County have committed. After all, you don’t get to be named #1 Corn Producing County in the Nation by doing nothing!!

I think it is so neat to see all those trucks lined up at the elevator. I always loved going there with my dad to pick up feed. You are right, it's a great place to socialize!
