He says they have a new mobile education center at the fair this year.

?Corn is a huge part of the Iowa economy and we want to showcase what we do in the state. All the products that we are in. It is very important for us as corn farmers to get our story out there tell people the importance of it.?

Hora will become the new Iowa Corn president in September.
