Along with preserving the old farming we offer Modern Farming tours. We farm around 3000 acres with two of our sons. We use modern technology such as GPS, vertical tillage and computers in the combine and tractors. We have welcomed a group from across America wanting to understand modern farming and a group of Ukrainians wanting information on how they can improve their soils to grow better crops. For this tour we try to have both of our boys and Ted visit with the group about modern farming. Because we are a working farm it depends on the timing if we can get all three men there. We will also try to bring out some of the machinery that is available. The catered meal of either a light lunch or full meal is offered with this tour also.
