The Noblesville Lions Club on Wednesday welcomed a very special speaker, Kevin Cavanaugh, PhD. He enlightened the club on “Corn and Other Stuff.” Cavanaugh has spent 27 years with Beck’s Hybrids as Director of Research … and does this guy love corn! He started with summer jobs at an Ohio company, then college at Iowa State University, finishing up at Purdue University, and is now an owner in a Genetic Licensing Business. He kept the club’s interest with technical information about corn and its genetic research. He also gives community time as a high school board of education member. Who could imagine so much technology in corn and farming?
