It’s National Ag Week!
Everyone at Iowa’s Best Country, Kix 101.1 salutes Iowa’s producers, Ag leaders, corporations and everyone who has a hand in feeding America.
A couple of people who are closely tied to the Ag community are YouTube sensations, Cole the Cornstar and Daddy Cornstar. Both stopped by on Tuesday to visit with Brandon Lewis on the Morning Kix Start. Listen to the interview below!
All week long, Kix 101.1 is aiming to increase knowledge and inform everyone about the important role Agriculture plays in Iowa.
Check out their latest episode on YouTube:

Welcome to ‘At the Movies’ Brought to You by North Grand Cinema in Ames…
In theaters this weekend ’28 Years Later’
28 Years Later, a terrifying new story. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.
-----
Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.
-----
Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.
-----
Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
