Stop 9 Dodge County, NE

Since our last stop yesterday we weathered a storm that washed out our visit to the College World Series. The Omaha area received about an inch of rain over a few hours and the power to be postponed the game until Thursday morning. We also passed a newly purchased ethanol plant owned by The Andersons. Picture is of Jim standing at the office in Dennison IA.

Our 500 mile day began early and our first stop was 10 miles north of Fremont, NE. The field was wet and muddy. The corn looked awesome. For pictures please see the video later today (I was more worried about cleaning the mud off of my boots instead of taking a still photo). It was V12 and 31,100 population. The tassel was just two leaves down so we would expect pollination to begin next week. The temperature was a balmy 61 degrees.
