In this podcast, Curtis Rohrich, a farmer from Wood River and member of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, covers some of the great corn-related events going on at the Nebraska State Fair this weekend.
One big event, of course, is the ceremonial check presentation to the American Red Cross. The check will be for the full amount of money raised through the corn donation program for relief efforts in Japan. The presentation is Sunday, September 4th at 1 p.m. on the stage in Exhibition Hall, the same building the Nebraska Corn Growers booth is located. On hand for the presentation will be representatives of the Growers plus the executive director of the Cornhusker Community Chapter of the American Red Cross, Rohrich said.
He noted that farmers who helped organize the program and who recently went to Japan as part of a mission to promote Nebraska beef and provide meals for evacuees will also be on hand.
Two State Fair events taking place on Saturday, September 3, that Rohrich mentioned are the Do You Flex Fuel panel on the stage from 3 to 4 p.m. and the Cookin’ with Common Ground from 5:15 to 6 p.m. Both are on the Exhibition Building stage.
Plus there’s E-20, E-30 and E-85 discounts this weekend at two locations in the Grand Island area. The discounts will save you 20, 30 or 85 cents per gallon, up to 20 gallons.
