Get Value in DataGrid

I am trying to change the Cell Color of my Data Grid depending on the value of a Cell and for some reason the value of my cell seems to be returning a null value.

The function DataGrid1_ItemCreated is called and this line should return the value of the cell, but is returning "".
string test = e.Item.Cells[0].Text;

The Data Grid does load with no issues after proceeding through this function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have included the full code for your review.

public class BranchLicensing : System.Web.UI.Page
	{
 
		string PageID = "BranchLicensing.aspx.cs";
		protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid DataGrid1;
 
		GatewaySales.Modules.Common.Library objLibrary = new GatewaySales.Modules.Common.Library();
		GatewaySales.Modules.Common.BaseSecurity  objBaseSecurity = new GatewaySales.Modules.Common.BaseSecurity();
 
 
		private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			// Put user code to initialize the page here
			PageInit();
 
			if(!IsPostBack)
			{
				LoadBranchLicenses();
			}
		}
 
		public System.Data.DataTable LoadBranchLicenses() 
		{
			// connect to database
			SqlConnection conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Integra_ConnectionString"]);
			conn.Open();
			string selectstmt = "";
			selectstmt = "select State, CONVERT (varchar,ExpirationDate, 101) as ExpirationDate, Lender1stMtg, Lender2ndMtg, Broker1stMtg, Broker2ndMtg from custom_licensingbranch where branchid = 51 order by state";
			
			SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(selectstmt,conn);
			SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(myCommand);
			System.Data.DataTable BranchLicenses = new System.Data.DataTable(); 
			adapter.Fill(BranchLicenses);
 
			DataGrid1.DataSource = BranchLicenses;
			DataGrid1.DataBind();
				
			conn.Close();
			
			return BranchLicenses;
		}
 
		protected void DataGrid1_ItemCreated( System.Object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e )  
		{
			
			if ( e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
				e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem ||
				e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.SelectedItem )  
			{
 
				string test = e.Item.Cells[0].Text;
 
				if(test == "PA")
				{
					e.Item.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
				
				}
			}
 
		}
