Purdue Farm Management Tour & Indiana Master Farmer Reception

Overview

The Purdue University Farm Management Tour returned in grand form for 2021. Three outstanding farms hosted visitors wanting to learn about farm and crop management on July 8 and July 9.

The Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University has organized an annual Indiana farm management tour every year since the early​ 1930s. Host farmers share keys to successful farm management and explain how the management of their operations is changing in response to the ever-changing agricultural economy and the evolving circumstances of their families. They also share reasons behind recent innovation​s in production practices and adoption of new technology. This is an opportunity to ask questions and learn from the experiences of Indiana’s best farm business managers.​
