A drive through the river bottoms

These photos were taken about a month ago along the Missouri River in Glasgow, MO and in our corn fields near there by my mom, Karla.  The mighty river was flowing fast that day as Iowa had received a lot of rain pushing the water south. Since then the rain has slowed, but we are praising God for giving us a long shower last night! We were in great need of it!

Side note: If you are ever in Glasgow we highly recommend The Rolling Pin as your lunch/dessert spot! Jeremy’s pies and pastries are scrumptious!

Here is the stream from Lewis Mills joining the Missouri…

While touring riverside, they stopped to check the fields. The corn looked beautiful that day as it towered way above my 6’3 dad!

I was recently asked where our corn goes once it is harvested.  The short is answer is that we use a lot of it to feed our cattle once they are weaned and the rest is sold to various contract buyers including NEMO Ethanol plant near Macon, MO, dog food companies and some ends up on barges heading to companies that turn it in to Frosted Corn Flakes possibly or Tostitos Corn Chips!

Do you have any questions about raising corn? Leave them below in the comment section!

Thanks for taking this river tour with us!
