Miller Farms

Come see what farming in Nebraska is really like!

Once on the Miller Farms, Mark and his two sons Chris and Shane will talk about irrigated and dry land corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle and the equipment that they use.

The Miller family is dedicated to teaching visitors about the food they eat, while letting them experience a bit of farm life in a fun, safe, and interactive atmosphere.

As your group steps off the motor coach and on to Miller Farms, they will be stepping into the heart of a family farm and into a corn field (Don’t worry, the road next to the corn field is paved). Here, the group will get to explore how gravity irrigation works while also learning about the different corn hybrids that Miller Farms grows and how they apply pesticides through gravity irrigation along with the efficacy of this method of irrigation.
