It's hard to believe we will be headed to Illinois tomorrow. Here are a few of the photos from Des Moines. Today was Charlie Wilson's birthday, so we had the nice people at The Machine Shed Restaurant sing happy birthday. Joe Collins was the chairperson for the day and took full use of his power by using the bus driver's microphone. The other photos are from the Pork Producers Dinner and while visiting a few farms in the Des Moines area. Today we had a pretty light day while visiting the wildlife refuge. We saw some buffalo, pheasants, a deer, and a chipmunk. Des Moines has been great! Tomorrow will be packed with visiting ethanol plants and a farm before we end up in Princeton, IL. Hard to believe we only have four more days!
