The men and women who built the farming community in Eastern Iowa worked hard<br />
to achieve their dreams and give the next generation a strong foundation for success.<br />
Planting seeds of hope<br />
Jerry Naylor lived a life of adventure, philanthropy and<br />
entrepreneurship that impacted people in Eastern Iowa and beyond<br />
BY JANE SCHMIDT<br />
EASTERN IOWA FARMER<br />
To have known Jerry Naylor is to have<br />
known a man who lived life to the fullest.<br />
He drove a race car, piloted airplanes,<br />
and helped revolutionize the seed corn<br />
industry. But it was not his hobbies or<br />
career that defined him to those who knew him best.<br />
It was his generous spirit and volunteerism, and,<br />
specifically, his efforts to help children stricken with<br />
cancer.
