We've drawn from an old favorite and brought the farm into the 21st century. You'll follow milk, corn and soy from their roots on an Illinois farm through processing to our store shelves. You'll enter the farm through the dairy barn, where farmers will explain how the milk on your table got there, and why processes like homogenization and pasteurization are important for high quality milk. You'll also learn how farmers feed cattle to enhance milk production, and how they manage and track their herds.
Pigs are big.
Some of us urban dwellers imagine them as cute little pink piggies. Check out the feed silo and find out how much a pig eats in a day. Take a glimpse inside and see how this revolutionary machine processes, separates and gathers the corn. See soy growing in the fields, then find out how it is used in products as diverse as candy bars, tofu, inks and crayons. Our real, working greenhouse shows how biotechnology is changing the face of farming.
