Stop 7. Boone County, IA

On our way between stops we stopped in Ames to visit with Marvin Hodgson with FC Coop. Marvin gave us some end user info for this north central Iowa. He thought that their trade area was about the same number of corn acres as last year maybe slightly more acres. His comment that their area is about 68% corn. He steered us towards a great BBQ restaurant for lunch! Ingested several calories (enough to skip supper).

Our stop was 20 miles West of Ames. The field was black sand corn on corn. The area was dry. Probably the driest field we have been in since central IL. The stand was 32,670 and at V6-V7. We would rate it 9.

We attached a picture of some sort of formation in the sky that we could not identify. We think we may have seen it in the past but couldn't remember what to call it. Send us a comment if you can identify it to win the tour prize.
