We were then given a short tour around the engine factory, where we were able to look at some finished engines up close, they were very shiny and green. We ended at the John Deere conference room and ate a bag lunch. Next we visited Artex Barn Solutions, a dairy-focused company where they manufactured livestock headlocks and also livestoc
