Southern Minnesota POIs

We started the day heading south.  The land changes from deciduous forest to prairie.

Some of you might recognize this guy.  We drove through his valley.  Ho Ho Ho.

His ‘valley’ is pretty large.  Southwestern and southern Minnesota is farm land.  Miles and miles of crops of all kinds.  Probably several thousand square miles.  Lots of corn but also many other row and field crops.  Peas were being processed at the plant currently.

From The Green Giant  country we headed east to see another American icon.

We spent an hour touring the SPAM museum at the Hormel international headquarters and chief processing plant.  Pretty interesting.  Their gift store is amazing.  Didn’t know SPAM could be printed on so many different things.  Smile

Hormel (and SPAM) is all over the world
