Agricultural Production Displays

Chuck Zimmerman

Big GardenSome of the best looking vegetables I’ve ever seen are growing indoors here in one of the main agriculture buildings. I wish my garden looked like this. But I guess it would if I had a guy in overalls (there were a lot them) manually grooming and treating each plant every day. This building looks like a collaboration of many companies and you could essentially follow agricultural production through the whole chain from field to plate since you had crops, animals, processing and even a small grocery store set up to show how the consumer where their food actually comes from.

In this same building they had a kindergarden set up filled with farm toys and all kinds of kids books on agriculture. They have up to 50 kids a day stay there while their parents visit the Green Week displays. I thought that was a cool idea.
