Betsy and Gene took us to two different farms today. We were treated like long lost relatives. Everyone was super nice and showed us all around their places. Never expected Martha to ride in the back of a pick up truck inspecting the herd.
Or stealing eggs from the hens.
She got quite a haul
Checking out the oinkers as well
A full tour. It is amazing how detailed it is to run a farm these days. Including doing ultrasounds on the pregnant herd.
Just beautiful country.
We got a wealth of information. 24/7 and then some to operate a farm..
Along with massive amounts of equipment and huge barns, a '74 Harley hiding out in the corner. It hasn't been started in over 20 years.
This is American Picker country.
Betsy and Gene met Trump and have some really great stories to tell.
We had a great lunch. Then Martha and I headed for Iowa City about 3pm. Tomorrow on to Chicago.
Gene showed me his major prize that he had won. Funny.
It seems like we just left yesterday. It is amazing to see signs for Middle America Cities.
Thanks, Gene and Betsy. We had a really wonderful visit and you are the kings of hospitality and truly exceptional tour guides.
You guys got the grand tour!! I finally got caught up!! I was three days behind! You guys just keep doing and seeing! This is such a great trip for you!!
ReplyDeleteglad you had quite a visit with Betsy & Gene...looks like they literally gave you the grand tour...a whole lot of our chow comes from middle America...did you get by "Wall Drug" in SD...??
ReplyDeleteYes. We did swing by to check it out. Pretty cool. The Midwest is such an amazing place. Tiny little towns everywhere. Corn fields as far as you can see. So peaceful here.
