NASCAR runs on speed, power, and ethanol. And that starts right here in Iowa. Because we glow the corn, we turn it into fuel, and we keep the engines running. Iowa's corn farmers and ethanol have been driving NASCAR for over 20 million miles. Every lap of the Iowa Corn 350 shines a spotlight on what we grow best. 20 million plus miles on ethanol. 95% of cars can use E15. Corn glows Iowa.
Time for a message from one of our great partners, Brandt Industries. Brandt grain carts have efficient unload speeds, large carrying capacity, and unmatched durability. These carts deliver faster and more thorough clean out with quicker turnarounds to keep your operation running smoothly. And their reliable components make sure that your cart is working when you are. Visit your local Brandt dealer for more information. And what do you think would be lost if this event stopped? history, another form of not understanding what we used to do, what we used to have to do and how to do it. It's time for another farm for profit podcast. Where'd you guys get these cool hats? You know, we have no shortage of hats, but very rarely do we get a hat and put it on within a half hour of receiving it.
It's a nice hat. It is very nice. Richard's going to come in the studio. Got to come hang out in the studio. Excited to get into this episode. Listeners, you see the Vesta board behind us, which means... We're here in studio. If you want to leave a comment or review or let us know what we're doing absolutely terribly, 515-207-9640. Maybe you'll get to see your message. If he changes it while you guys are trying to talk, just stop for a second because it is extremely distracting. It's not that bad. It is. Every guest has a problem with it. I just want to tell you. It's not just you. You can stop talking. Not you. It's me. It's not you. It's Tanner. Literally me. It is. But no, that's excited to get into the episode for today.
We've had a good run. Appreciate your feedback, listeners, on doing history episodes, history of ag companies, mostly equipment manufacturers so far. That's fun. We've always done, it's been Iowa-based, hasn't it? Has been. Yep. So far. Yep. We'll do more, but it's cool to see Iowa companies thriving. We're going to tickle those history funny bones. Yeah. Can you tickle a funny bone? You can hit them. That's the second time this year you've tried to tickle me, and it's really weird. It's really weird. The year is only halfway over, too. Yeah. I might have to stop showing up. You're going to switch chairs with Dave. I'm going to have to call HR. I'm going to have to call Rachel. Yeah. I'm HR. That's the way this works.
We're going to take a trip back home, where I grew up, pretty close to the same area, and way back in time. We're going to talk about the upcoming 55th show for the Albert City Thresherments, Old Power Roundup and Wheat Run. Mm-hmm. Old Power and Wheat. I've always heard Threshermans.
