Iowa Farmland... first day of harvest

We arrived in Clarion to stay with Cynthia's aunt Carolyn and uncle Dean.  We had a home grown meal that included roast and pumpkin bars. The next day, I saw the farm!  I rode on a combine and learned all about how to farm corn.

Then we went back to the house and Dean taught me how to drive a tractor.

That evening we drove to Huxley and stayed with Cynthia's cousin Rod.  We had a nice dinner and evening.  We went to bed early because we had to get up at 6am to take Shelley to the airport in Omaha, NE.
