A must-see in Northeast Iowa, the Norman Borlaug Boyhood Farm offers educational, environmental, and agricultural events for all ages. Stop in for a private tour, or on Inspire Day where 350 fifth graders from around the area get "inspired" for the day! Dr. Borlaug is credited with saving millions of lives by developing a wheat hybrid that could be grown in adverse conditions. He is one of only seven people to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Congressional Gold Medal and Presidential Medal
