We arrived pretty early to meet with a marketing representative from Claas, who gave us a tour of the manufacturing plant. The best part of the tour was learning how the core parts of the machinery moved across the floor to each different station of manufacturing. We had to speed through the tour, but what we did see was amazing!

this building was 19 floors!
the Union Pacific building was 19 floors!

Lastly we went to Union Pacific, where we were presented to on all the different parts of agriculture tied to the railroads. It was very eye opening to see that without Union Pacific, we may not be as we are today, and that at one point every piece of agriculture was connected by the railway.

After Union Pacific we were off to the airport! After a long week filled with touring the midwest, it was time to return  home.
