So our weekly field trip took us to Ekoniva, one of the largest John Deere suppliers in Europe. We took a pretty cool tour and got to see a wide variety of tractors and other combines they sell. Then we got treated to a presentation by the president of the company, Mr. Stefan, and this was one of the highlights of the trip for me. Not only were we treated to tea and sandwiches (again) it was interesting listening to a man who took a huge risk by investing in Soviet Union and early Russian federation agriculture and having it pay of huge dividends for him. Mr. Stefan spoke fluently in three languages and he had the guts to explore an area of the world that very few of his classmates in university did (he was from Western Germany). After that we got to drive one of the big green tractors that Ekoniva sells, and courtesy of Dr. Layfield he is a picture of me in front of the tractor.
