corn for pops

I visited the Morrow Plots at the University of Illinois in honor of my father's birthday. It happens to be the oldest experimental field in the United States, established in 1876. When I called my dad to let him know where I was, he excitedly told me the oldest in the world was in England. And, lo and behold, guess where the third oldest experimental field in the world and second oldest in the United States is? Missouri - Sanborn Field at my alma mater. Thanks for the lesson, Dad.
