It’s opening night for the Normal CornBelters baseball team at the brand new Corn Crib stadium. The Corn Crib is presented by Illinois Corn Farmers and the AgWired team is set up in their suite getting ready for the first pitch.

We’ll be here taking photos and getting some interviews throughout the evening. Of course we’ve already got a photo album started. You can find it here: Normal CornBelters Corn Crib Opener

We’ll be tweeting @AgriBlogger and @FarmPodcaster so you may want to keep an eye there for photos and other notes while we obtain more content to load here.

To get things started Cindy interviewed Rod Weinzierl, Executive Director, Illinois Corn Growers and Illinois Corn Marketing Board. Rod says that the fans in the area selecting the team name and that caught the attention of the Association. They worked out an agreement to name the stadium the Corn Crib.
