Day 39 John Deere Factory Tour and Hansen Dairy Farm Tour Waterloo Iowa USA Road Trip Part 2
On Todays Road trip we tour the John Deere Factories in Waterloo Iowa and the Hansen’s Farm Fresh Dairy Farm.
Today I got a tour of Hansen's Farm Fresh Dairy and boy did I learn about how much work it is to be a dairy farmer, how much fun it is and how different it is! It was such an eye opening experience and the food was delicious. I got to make butter, milk a cow, hold a kangaroo and eat some fabulous ice cream!!!
Then in all of Nebraska and Iowa I got to learn more about a farmers life and about a truckers life, 2 very tough jobs and under appreciated.
I hope that you all get a chance to travel, experience a dairy farm and step outside your comfort zone. It will open new opportunities, change your view on life and at the very least make you more knowledgeable and valuable in anything you want to achieve!
As always let me know if I can ever be of service to you. I'm here for anyone who wants to get out there and grow!!!
Let's start a movement. Traveling before or while in college should be commonplace and expected. The power of travel is life-changing and has the potential to enhance society overall. When you travel you learn AMAZING things about yourself, the people around you, the world around you and the opportunities there are.
Without travel I argue that you will never realize your fullest potential because there is so much that you are missing out. Traveling even the smallest of distances will change the way your mind thinks and lead to what society needs most, people who have found a passion, are pursuig it and discovering breakthrough technologies, theories, lifestyles, careers and more.
In Europe this is already commonplace to take a semester, summer, month or year off to explore the EU before or during college. I want to make it commonplace in the United States of America as well. It is possible to do it on any budget and I help people learn how to make it a reality. Find out more at:

John Deere C-2 Building, Waterloo
The John Deere C-2 Building in Waterloo won the 2019 William J. Wagner Award from the State Historic Preservation Office of Iowa. The annual award recognizes the historic preservation project that best exemplifies use of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Waterloo's C-2 Building was built in 1947 as factory in a large complex for the world's largest tractor plant in the world, the John Deere Tractor company. Today, the six-story, 200,000-square-foot building is one of only three remaining original buildings from the former factory complex. This former factory was reborn in 2018 when a developer turned it into a hotel. One challenge of the rehabilitation was that the windows were too high to see out, so the architects raised the floor to allow hotel guests a better view and, simultaneously, hide the ductwork and wiring underfoot. The hotel, a Courtyard by Marriott, is an excellent example of adaptive reuse and provides a destination for business and family travelers. It also provides 120 jobs for the local workforce and houses a restaurant and bar.

John Deere Announces Layoff in Waterloo
WATERLOO, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--One of the biggest employers in the Waterloo area is laying off more than 400 employees.
John Deere holds a huge significance for many in the Cedar Valley community.
John Deere has been here over a hundred years and came to Waterloo when they purchased the Waterloo tractor company and began manufacturing operations here, said Steve Dust, President and CEO of the Greater Cedar Valley Alliance and Chamber.
John Deere is our life blood, really, in Waterloo. It has been for a long time, said Mayor Buck Clark, which makes the announcement of impending layoffs a big deal.
Of course it's a big deal. I mean four hundred people in any economy and certainly ours that's very significant for over four hundred families, Dust said.
According the company, they plan to layoff approximately 460 employees who work in its Waterloo operations by October 20th.
Certainly it's not good news. Having said that, with the announcement a couple of weeks ago that John Deere was laying off in other parts of the state and other facilities this isn't a total surprise, said Mayor Clark.
He says the city's main concern at this point is helping those who will soon be jobless find a new path.
This is a bump in the road, but it's not going to set Waterloo as a community back. We will continue moving forward as we have in the past few years, he said.
Deere officials say the layoffs are in response to a slow market demand for their products.
They plan to reduce production of agricultural equipment for the rest of the year.
Illinois Adventure #1703 John Deere Historic Site
In 1836, John Deere, a blacksmith recently transplanted from Vermont, set up shop in the small Rock River town of Grand Detour, Illinois. Deere, who was enterprising and innovative, met many disheartened farmers who were discouraged by their efforts to cultivate the sticky Midwestern soil.
Today, visitors to the John Deere Historic Site can watch a blacksmith at work in a replica of the blacksmith's shop where John Deere made that historic plow. The site also features the home John Deere built, a gift shop, and an archaeological exhibit that shows the site of John Deere's original blacksmith shop.

Virgil Schwanke of Willmar started a museum the same time he started his Schwanke Tractor and Truck business back in 1958. He had always been a collector and he wanted a place to store his Model T coupe that he bought when he was just 15 years old.
