Off The Cob

In this first installment, Off the Cob speaks with Tom Martin, a fifth-generation farmer in Mount Pulaski, Ill. In 1982, he joined his father and brother in growing mainly corn and soybeans. Living with his wife and children in the house where both he and his father grew up, Martin still works the family farm - a fact that is not surprising when one considers that more than 90 percent of all U.S. corn is grown on family farms.
