American Southwest visited the Irwin and Mary Jo Porter farm in Quinter, Kansas.  Mr. Porter showed students his wheat fields, allowed us to check the soil moisture and quality in a recently planted sunflower field, and took us on a tour of his equipment.  Below, Stuart, Mr. Porter, and Jordan stand beside a sprayer with an 80 foot wide extension that can cover 30 acres an hour.  The Porter farm extends over  5,760 acres.
