Once in a lifetime opportunity on Tuesday, July 13 – Western, Neb. at Dr. Ray Ward’s farm.?

Dr. Ray Ward, founder of Ward Laboratories, has never opened his farm doors to the public in this fashion. Now, the timing is right to do so. We hope everyone involved in the pursuit of agriculture will join us – from farmers and ranchers to consumers.??

Everyone is invited to come to the farm, Tuesday, July 13, for an “In the Field Farm Tour” at Ward’s farm near Western, Neb.?Last year, the lab tested nearly 428,000 soil samples from all over the world.?If you have had soils tested from your farm and ranch, more than likely some of them have been at Ward Labs. The end goal of this educational event is to give those in attendance insider information about increasing profitability and resiliency in the use of natural resources.?
