                            SWEET CORN DAYS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, in honor of the Iowa Department of 
Agriculture's Sweet Corn Days yesterday, I would like to highlight the 
strong agricultural sector of my State of Iowa.
  Many people don't know how you get from the seed to the corn on the 
cob you are used to seeing on your dinner table. That is one reason, 
particularly for city people, that I started the hashtag ``Corn Watch'' 
series on my Instagram.
  Each week I post an update with the progress of how the crop is 
growing on my farm in New Hartford, IA. It is a small way to show 
nonfarmers how Iowa feeds and fuels the world.
  I yield the floor.
