Question:
What did the cow say to the dairy Farmer
on a cold Sunday morning?
Answer:
Your tour conductor will tell you the an-
swer on the trip, so sign up today and join
us! Last year this tour sold out fast.
A Short Farming Story:
A young boy was walking to school in the
holy land when he saw an old man plant-
ing an olive tree. The boy stopped and
asked the old man why he was planting
an olive tree that would take years to give
fruit when he may not be alive at that time
to eat the fruit. The old man smiled and
responded, “Yes, that may be true, but
our grandparents planted so we could eat
and now we plant so our grandchildren
can eat also.” Farmers worldwide are
doing just that, planting so that others can
eat the fruit of their fields.
A one day adventure, your tour package
includes:
Round trip transportation by first class
A/C motor coach with a clean restroom
and clean windows for a great view
Professional tour conductor
≤ Free ice cold soft drinks on boardyour motor coach

This trip will introduce you to farms, farm-

Kind Ranch was founded in 1853
after Captain Richard King at-
tended the Lone Star Fair in Cor-
pus Christi. At the fair, Captain
Kind and his friend Texas Ranger
Captain Gideon K. Lewis formed a
partnership to establish and oper-
ate a livestock operation with
headquarters at the site of the
Santa Gertrudis Creek.
King Ranch has played important
roles in South Texas history. Dur-
ing the Civil war, the Nueces strip
was the back door of the Confed-
eracy and a way around the union
Blockade of Confederate Port. It is
the birth place of the American
ranching business. At the Civil
war, over 100,000 head of King
Ranch cattle headed up the trail to
feed a beef-hungry nation. King
Ranch sprawls across 825,000
acres of South Texas. Covering
more than 1,300 square miles, it is
larger than the entire state of
Rhode Island, and it is the home
of 60,000 Santa Gertrudis and 300
registered Quarter horses. King
Ranch is also a
mu l t i na t i ona l
a g r i b u s i n e s s
and energy exploration corpora-
tion which produces grain
sorghum, sugar cane, rice, cotton,
turf grass, sweet corn,
and cattle.
TOUR PACKAGE INCLUDES:
• FREE pickup and return to your
park for groups of six people or
more.
• Short stop along the way for cof-
fee and rolls (dutch treat).
