Now Hatching! View baby chicks in Farm Tech on select dates.

Farm Tech shows you the science and technology helping to raise the world's food and keep up with a growing demand.

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.

The baby chicks have arrived!

On select dates, “peep” the baby chicks in a temporary facilitated display in Farm Tech as we prepare their new permanent home in this exhibit.

Enjoy all the charm of a visit to the farm, but updated with today's technology. Climb behind the steering wheel of a combine equipped with GPS for precise rows. 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… but as in Griffin MSI's tradition of farm exhibits, there are always the simpler pleasures.
