With the conference over it was time to go on some farm visits. The rain let up for most of the day. We were able to go to a farm near the community of Biscerd. It was an opportunity to see a new milking parlor and how the European Union is tyring to assist farmers to make improvements on their farms. We also went to the Somberek farming operation. They are farming nearly 6,00 acres, growing crops of wheat, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, hay and have 20 acres flooded for fish production. The General Manager for the operation is Michaly (Micahel) Nyilas, Chairman of the Supervisory Board for AGP-Hungary. On the trip back to Butapest we ran into heavy rain once again. On to Turkey tomorrow.
