HOW 'YA GONNA KEEP 'EM DOWN ON THE FARM ONCE THEY'VE SEEN BAGHDAD?

Uh...corn?

Iowa troops stationed in Iraq will soon get a taste of summer back home. The Iowa National Guard has made arrangements for troops in Baghdad to have a super-sized sweet corn feed next week.

Sergeant Bob Steffes of the Fort Dodge-based 133rd Test Squadron says the sweet corn feed started with the idea of sending some corn to fellow squadron members stationed in Baghdad. Steffes says Ruan Transportation and Garst Seed, both headquartered in Iowa, agreed to help.
