Harvest Progress and Corn Education2:32 – 4:49

Bob BosoldHost

2:32

Some of the things we're looking at is the progress of the crops, and we are a little behind as far... and around the country.

Bob BosoldHost

2:38

Not so bad here, but in, uh, some major states, a little behind as far as the harvest is concerned.

Bob BosoldHost

2:43

Nothing to get concerned about.

Bob BosoldHost

2:45

Also, the renewable fuels industry, soybean growers, corn growers, we've, uh, got those folks happy with an EPA announcement we'll talk about.

Bob BosoldHost

2:55

Speaking of corn growers, as we go on today we'll hear more from the Wisconsin Corn Growers, right?

Jill WelkeHost

2:59

We, we will.

Jill WelkeHost

3:00

We're gonna hear from Brenda, uh, Damrow-Goodaux.

Jill WelkeHost

3:03

She's the executive director for Wisconsin Corner... for Wisconsin Corn.

Jill WelkeHost

3:08

And she gave me some insight on something that I didn't realize they had on their website, but they have curriculum for teaching about corn, and it's curriculum for younger students to the middle-aged students to the high school students.

Bob BosoldHost

3:24

Mm-hmm.

Jill WelkeHost

3:24

So it's really interesting that they put that much effort into teaching more about our corn crops.

Bob BosoldHost

3:31

Yeah, that or agriculture.

Bob BosoldHost

3:32

That's good.

Bob BosoldHost

3:33

So parents, when you go in for your...

Bob BosoldHost

3:35

What do they call it? PTA or PTO? What do they call it now? Is it PTA? It used to be Parent Teacher Association.

Bob BosoldHost

3:40

What do they do now?

Jill WelkeHost

3:42

I don't...

Jill WelkeHost

3:42

I actually-

Bob BosoldHost

3:43

Okay

Jill WelkeHost

3:43

... really don't know.

Bob BosoldHost

3:43

Well, when you go in for your conferences with your teachers, ask the teachers, you know, grade school kids, I don't know, fourth, fifth, sixth graders if they know, if they teach anything about agriculture.

Bob BosoldHost

3:53

And if they need some help, go to the Corn Growers website and get some of that information and go out in the field and-

Jill WelkeHost

4:01

And-

Bob BosoldHost

4:01

... grab a couple of cobs of corn and a couple of corn plants and, uh, explain to the kids what's all going on a little bit.

Jill WelkeHost

4:07

And that curriculum is all free.
