Tour 6: 
Beef, Antique Tractors, Tomatoes,
Exotic Animals and Racing

This tour will begin with a visit to 4R Farms, which exhibits nationally competitive steers and heifers using an intensive embryo transfer and AI program.  They are founding partners in Global Trac, a national animal identification program. The next stop will be the Tom Smith Farm, who has a large collection of antique John Deere tractors and other memorabilia.  We will then visit Patterson Farms, where they grow over 350 acres of tomatoes.  Lunch will be served at Lazy 5 Ranch, an agri-tourism farm that hosts over 100,000 children each year and take a horse-drawn wagon ride through a domestic and exotic animal park. Finish the day at Penske Racing, home of the famous NASCAR teams of Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch.
