A measure of excitement about corn in Arkansas

Jason Kelley, Arkansas Extension Corn Specialist, said that 40 people attended a corn meeting today in Jonesboro, which is a pretty clear indication to him that people are excited about corn and will be growing a good deal of the grain in 2007.

"In the past several years, maybe 5 or 10 people would have attended, and they really wouldn't be all that interested," he said. "But the folks who came today were interested, interactive and asking questions. They want to make top yields in 2007."
