Linda Ostdiek

I’ve been detasseling since 1989 – yes that long! I started as a carrier driver and began leading the Lawrence crew in 1999. I love working with my crew and watching them develop such great work ethics that help them succeed in school and with their future careers. During the school year, I am a bus driver for Lawrence and Nelson school. Corn detasseling rocks!
