P Day Trip to John Deere Factory

Sue and Bruce Douglas in front of the "mural" in the lobby of the John Deere Factory in Waterloo, Iowa. They planned this trip for 13 temple missionaries. It was a 3 hr. trip to Waterloo for a one hours tram tour.

This is what they assemble at this plant--quite the production. The facility covers 48 acres. This building was clean and uncluttered. They use up their inventory within 3 days--each tractor takes about 10 hrs. to assemble--quite fascinating to see the process.

We began with a movie about how the company came to be and it's growth. They ship tractors all over the world.

Following the tour we enjoyed lunch at Olive Garden--a real treat considering our limited dining choices near Nauvoo.
