Eating Dan D Farms sweet corn is an Iowa tradition. Actually, people all over the world love the corn, coming to the Knoxville Nationals in August and shipping it home. Every year for the past several years I have joined Dan Dennison and his corn picking crew in the early morning to speak with them about picking corn, and this important Marion County tradition. Dan is a great guy to talk to, and the kids he hires to pick corn are fun too. Here is this year's interview.

The beautiful rolling southern Iowa landscape has been created by glaciers, wind, and erosion. Geologists call the natural area the Southern Iowa Drift Plain. I write from the center of the Drift Plain, from Marion County, about this unique natural and cultural setting. I am a native Iowan, an anthropologist, and work in radio for KNIA/KRLS in Knoxville/Pella. I am also the author of "Yellow Cab," among other work.
