The early arriving attendees for the Bayer CropScience 2014 Corn & Soybean Future Forum were treated to a tour of Frankfurt, Germany. The highlight of the tour was a visit to the Goethe House.

It was here that Johann Wolfgang Goethe was born on August 28, 1749, and here he spent his childhood and youth. With its period furniture and old paintings the late Baroque bourgeois house still harbours the spirit of this period. Goethe’s parent’s house is one of the oldest and most interesting Memorials in Germany.

You can follow along with the Forum over the next couple days via AgWired and the Twitter hashtag, #CropFutureForum.
