Dedication

For those of you that do not know Dylan, he is one of the interns here. He is our ¨Ag guy¨this summer. I want to dedicate this blog to him. I have spent several days with Dylan in the corn. Yes, in the corn. Mission Lazarus has started a corn study with the help of Abilene Christian University to test several different types of corn to determine which ones produce the most and best corn for the people here and also to use as feed for cattle. Dylan knows more about it than I do. Anyways, while Dylan is here, one thing he has to do is measure the corn and average the measurements to help with the study. That doesnt sound so bad does it? Well, one thing about Dylan is that he likes to talk. In our group of 12 interns, Dylan always has a story to tell or a question to ask or just something to add to the conversation... and they are always funny. I think I can speak for the rest of the interns when I say I really appreciate the things Dylan has to say. Knowing that, you can imagine how hard it is for him to spend an entire 9 hour day in the corn by himself. There has been nobody for him to talk to, just corn. Like I said, I have gone with him a few times to help him measure the corn, so I know how boring it is with two or three people, I can not even imagine doing it alone. So, I just want to use this blog to say how impressed I am with Dylan and his dedication to the corn.
