Hometown Pride: My internship experience
By Amy Barger
There are several reasons I decided to volunteer for Main Street
Greenville this summer. I will start by explaining how I used to

years and it is all you have ever known, you crave to leave. You are
young, you realize this world is bigger than Greenville and there is so
much to discover. I used to simplify Greenville as, “a boring,
uninteresting small town with nothing to do”, and I know I am not the

Anticipating a Great Wheat Harvest
By Sam Custer
I have looked at a lot of fields of corn, soybean and wheat in the last
two weeks as I have checked our Western Bean Cutworm traps and checked

Helping Graduates Pay Down Debt and Plan for the Future
