Episode 025 – Meet the Corn Whisperer

If you’re gonna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk. In this week’s episode, Claire and Gracie are joined by special guest Rodney Weinzierl (also known as “Dad”), who not only works full time for the Illinois Corn Growers Association, but is also the third generation maintaining the family farm near Stanford, Illinois. Listen as they grill him about his job, what he does, what advice he has for young folks (like us) getting ready to join the agriculture industry, and what it was like to be an early Twitter adopter way back in 2010.

Tune in again next week when we’ll be back with Dad to talk about farmer organizations. In the meantime, give him a follow on Twitter by searching for @CornWhisperer.
