Kinze Manufacturing's world headquarters, manufacturing facility, offices and training center span over 30 acres, located along Interstate 80, near Williamsburg, Iowa. The company receives five to seven semi-trailer loads of raw materials a day, including 35 million pounds of high-grade steel each year.

Unlike other equipment manufacturers who often assemble parts made from as far away as China, Kinze makes virtually all its planter and grain cart components. When Jon Kinzenbaw couldn't find a hydraulic cylinder that met his requirements for reliability, he simply started to make his own.

Inside the manufacturing plant, giant steel cutting and stamping machines punch out everything from large grain cart panels and planter frames to the smallest sprockets and components. Skilled welders work next to welding robots as pieces of equipment begin to take shape. Every exposed surface of the high-quality steel is first de-scaled then powder-coated and assembled by people who take an enormous amount of pride in their work. Many have tenure of over 20 years with the company.

As part of the quality assurance process, each seed meter is individually tested prior to installation on the planter. All hydraulic cylinders are cycled and pressure tested before they are installed on any machines.

After passing final inspection, each piece of equipment is taken to our state of the art indoor shipping facility to be loaded onto awaiting semi trailers or shipping containers.

If you plan to be in the area and would like to see the plant, you call the number listed and ask for "Tours" to schedule your factory tour.

Originally founded in 1908 by our great-grandfather John David Duke, the farm was named Diamond Fruit Farm. In addition, John David Duke owned a facility that manufactured basket liners and built a peach packinghouse in 1942 that was named J.D. Duke. In 1950 he changed the name of this business to Southern Orchard Supply Co. but business was taken over by his son-in-law David O. Lane, and grandson, Duke Lane, Sr. The farming name remained the same but the packing portion of the business became Lane Packing Company.

Following the retirement of his father, David O. Lane, Duke Lane, Sr., became sole owner and continued to pack peaches until 1975 at the same location that his grandfather had built.
In 1976, Duke Lane, Sr. formed a partnership with the Russell Pearson family. Together they built a more modern packinghouse that was called Pearson & Lane. This partnership was in operation until 1989. After the 1989 season, the Lane family began construction of a packinghouse that is located on the family farm. This facility is one of the most modern of its kind and was ready just in time for the 1990 crop. It was in 1990 that Duke Lane, Sr. turned the business over to his four children--Duke, Jr., Bobby, Anne, and Steve who continue to run the business today.

Since 1990, Lane Packing Company has continued to grow and expand. We have added a Roadside Market which includes the Peachtree Cafe, Just Peachy Gift Shop and a full service mail order department. Also new this year is a five acre "you pick or we pick" strawberry patch. We invite you to stop by and visit our operation.

Situated in Palmer, Alaska, the Musk Ox Farm is a private non-profit organization dedicated to the development and domestication of the musk ox, Ovibos moschatus. Every year we host thousands of visitors who come to view the animals, learn about the project and take advantage of this unique opportunity to see and photograph one of the Arctic's oldest living species. For a truly Alaskan experience, come visit the farm and take an informative tour led by a knowledgeable guide. See tame cows, powerful bulls, and newborn calves that will make your heart melt.

The goal of the Musk Ox Project, begun in 1954, is to introduce a gentle, non-intrusive form of agriculture to the Arctic. These animals form the basis of an Alaskan cottage industry for natives living in remote coastal villages. The soft under-wool of the musk ox, qiviut, is harvested once a year and delivered to Oomingmak, an Alaskan native knitter's co-operative. The knitters work at home in Eskimo villages throughout Alaska creating scarves, nachaqs (Eskimo smoke rings) and luxurious caps. Each village has it's own signature pattern derived from traditional designs. For more information about qiviut and the native knitter's cooperative, link to www.qiviut.com.

The Musk Ox Farm, located just outside of Palmer, Alaska (a scenic 50-minute drive from downtown Anchorage) is home to a unique domestication project which began in 1954. The Musk Ox Farm is an ideal place to observe and photograph these animals at close range. On the tour you'll learn about the history of the musk ox, a prehistoric remnant of the last great Ice Age, and how it has been domesticated on the farm. You'll see cows, powerful bulls, and tame yearlings. The Musk Ox Project promotes the use of qiviut (the fine under-wool of the musk ox) as the basis of an Arctic native textile industry, which provides an economic supplement to subsistence communities throughout Alaska.

Our Sugar House is in full operation March and April every year. We make maple syrup the old fashioned way, with a wood fire. This gives the maple syrup a distinct flavor that you just don't get with an oil fire. Making maple syrup has been a family tradition here at Parker's for 3 decades.

During sugar season, one can sometimes find a wait to enter the restaurant but our sugar house offers full tours of the operation to help you pass the time. We will show you how the Native Americans made "Zinsibukwud" (maple sugar) by placing hot rocks into the sap, right up to modern sugar making in our wood-fired evaporator. After a trip through the sugar house, you certainly will go home smelling like a sugar maker!

Redhead Creamery and Jer-Lindy Farms is one of Minnesota's only farmstead creameries, milking 180 cows and making artisan Cheddar cheese right on the farm.
