Today started off rough…I woke up an hour late. I was not a happy camper to say the least! I wanted to leave my hotel room at 6:10a and I woke up at 6:10a. From then on, the day started to get better.
Mom and I
Today, my mother was able to attend the Farm Progress Show and she got to see a little bit of the blogging process I do everyday.
Corn Combustion
Corn has many uses, as well all know but a new up and growing industry is the corn burning stoves. My grandparents have one, and I know of a few others and they are very economical, energy sufficient, and effective.

Thoughts So Far…
So, I just wanted to take a second and write about my whole experience so far. So I arrived at the Farm Progress Show yesterday at 2:00. I have never had the chance to come to the Farm Progress Show so this is all new to me. I was thinking… there’s going to be some really big tents and then just some vendors… but no… This place is way bigger!! As I came closer, you can see all the tents from the road and it was like a maze trying to get into the grounds. As for me, I had no clue where I was going so maybe it was a little bit harder, plus the rain didn’t help anything because I couldn’t go everywhere or otherwise I would have been stuck.
