Farm Tech shows you the science and technology helping to raise the world's food and keep up with a growing demand.
Understand the science of farming
As populations have grown, the farms feeding them have grown bigger and smarter. More and more, farmers are using cutting-edge methods to work more efficiently while reducing effects on the environment. Explore the techniques being used on today's farms — while getting in some of that tractor time you've been missing.
What to expect
Learn not just how much a cow poops, but the power available in that poop.
Enjoy all the charm of a visit to the farm, but updated with today's technology. Challenge friends and family to a speed contest on the robotic milking simulator. In the soy shed, see just how many of the items in your pantry use this versatile bean. There's automation, chemistry, genetics, agriculture and engineering, it all comes together on the farm.
Plus, come enjoy one of the Museum's most beloved experiences since 1954: watching as baby chicks peck out of their shells and take first steps into the world!
The baby chicks are here!
The esteemed baby chicks have made their new home here in Farm Tech. Come "peep" our fuzzy friends and celebrate some of their very first milestones. Every day is a birthday in Farm Tech!
