They spent almost 3 hours walking us around the colony, and answering questions. Very impressive place, and very high tech, with lots of expensive machinery. Wish I had taken more pictures, but I wasn't sure if they welcomed that. This is their potato harvesting machine. It's about the size of a house. |
