The Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Corn Growers Association are revving up their engines to share about the many benefits of ethanol at Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, September 13-15, 2011. On Wednesday and Thursday, September 14th and 15th the #33 American Ethanol Chevrolet will be on display. Just on Wednesday from 10:00 am - 12 noon, NASCAR Nationwide driver Kenny Wallace will be at the site talking about the unique relationship of American Ethanol, farmers, and stock car racing. Alson on Wednesday at 10:00 am, the Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Soybean Board will declare September as Renewable Fuels Awareness Month in Nebraska.
The theme around Nebraska Corn will be all about NASCAR, using ethanol and membership benefits. The Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Ethanol Board are partnering together to provide information for consumers about flex fuel vehicle education, ethanol education, and blender pumps. The Nebraska Corn Growers Association will be unveiling their new membership software. Displays and presentations will show farmers the new features that will help them continue to be advocates for the industry.
You can find the Nebraska Corn Board and Nebraska Corn Growers Association located in the Ag Commodities Building along Main Street. As always, don’t forget to stop by for a cold can of Coca-Cola sweetened with Corn Sugar.

WAVE TO SUPPORT AGRICULTURE!Food, it's one of the hottest topics of conversation yet much of the talk doesn't include the people behind most food - America's farm families. CommonGround wants to change this and there is a movement to show your support for modern food production. We want consumers to understand and trust the people and the work behind their food.
At Husker Harvest Days, CommonGround volunteer farm spokeswomen will be at the Ag Commodities building and all around the grounds. They will be handing out free blue grocery bags and information to dispel the misconceptions about food production. You can help join the movement by getting your photo taken waving as if to say, "When you want to talk about food, talk to a farmer."
It's your chance to be heard! Learn more about CommonGround.
