Brandon is delivering 3 more loads of corn to GPC today.  It’s not a particularly pleasant day to be on the road, with a little rain/snow mix in the air–the roads are messy.  But these trips help fulfill our delivery requirements for filling contracts.

corn drops into the Pete’s trailer from load-out #6.

John runs the truck while Brandon operates the loading gate in the overhead bin.  Brandon stands on a raised platform to operate the unload valve, and rings a bell to signal the driver to move ahead in small increments as the trailer fills from front to back.

Last night was an important evening for me.  I went to my last meeting as a member of the South Knox School Board.  I was first elected in 1996, and have served 5 terms on the board.  There have been many exciting changes in those years, and I feel privileged to have been a part of that.  I am appreciative of the trust shown by this community to allow me to serve.

I’m hoping the future allows for some more travel, and more ‘grandpa’ time!
