Some corn powered baseball is going to happen in Normal, IL on Tuesday evening and Cindy and I will be on location courtesy of the Illinois Corn Growers. We’ll be at the Crib, the Corn Crib to be precise, for the home opener of the Normal CornBelters. They’ll take on the Windy City Thunderbolts at 7pm. The Corn Crib is presented by Illinois Corn Growers. You can hear Lindsay Mitchell explain more about the sponsorship in her latest podcast below. Look for some awesome live agriblogging to happen here starting late tomorrow evening. Illinois Corn Marketing Board Chairman, Jim Rapp, will throw the first pitch!
