... for example, Boulevard, Tennessee. We have a rural hospital there that has 85% of its staff vaccinated. And currently, they're undergoing efforts to be able to reach out to the African-American population in their small town to make sure that they actually are vaccinated as well. And so you've got good examples of that, where it's working and you've got the outreach, the hard-hit members of the community.   Alan Morgan: But for every story like that, I've got a rural hospital in Pennsylvania that received only one shipment at the beginning of this, for their staff. They haven't seen anything since then. That story has been repeated in Alabama and Texas and in other states as well, too. And as you've mentioned also, it's not just getting the vaccine out. It's being able to get people to sign up, to get transportation to those vaccination places. And then what we said, we've got

You got to meet the groundskeeper, and here's a story about the wind really coming in and wreaking havoc on the site and sticking up 1,000 corn plants. Now to hear you, Ron, share about the background work in procuring the site for this.   Dusty Weis: You know, 90 million acres corn raised in the U.S. This is a perfect field for this game. Thank you for securing that site so this could take place. It's so meaningful to every corn farmer in the nation. They really, really appreciate the fact that we could do a cornfield ballgame again

O’Brien Lock and Dam along the Illinois River. “Corn growers depend on America’s rivers to import supplies, like fertilizers, which play an important part in planting and harvesting our crops,” said Iowa farmer and NCGA President Chris Edgington. “These rivers are also important in shipping our products to key markets in the U.S. and abroad. When barges are delayed because of problems with aging locks and dams, farmers are economically affected.” Lock and Dam 25 is crucially important Edgington noted, as 60% of America’s corn and soybean exports are transported on the Mississippi River.   An aging system – many of the locks were constructed between 1907 and 1936 – has led to delays and
