  • John deere has some nice tours. The best tours cost half a million or more - but they let you take one home. (If you know a farmer who buys new tractors ask - many farmers have seen it and so won’t use their tour , so you can get their ticket). Then there is the free tours that anyone can take - but these are limited numbers and tour bus companies reserve all the spots when they open up knowing they can then sell the whole tour (if you don’t live near the factory this is the way to go since the factories are generally a boring drive away and the tour drivers know how to spice it up and where to eat). As an employee I’ve only got the engineers tour - that is when everyone staring at you knows it is your fault they are getting paid to do nothing - I do not recommend these even though they were paying me.





  • What will you practice? If you are willingito practice 5+ days per week for years anything will do. If you won’t practice nothing is easy. Sure a violin is harder than a guitar, but if you hate the guitar and love violin then violin is the answer for you.

    for many the best answer is who do you want to play with. Group blay is a lot of fun and weekly sessons will keep motivation to practice up. Thus find a group you like and figure out what they need - ask. There are guitar only circles where they wil always be glad to have another guitar - that is what I used to play my mandolin in until I moved (yes it was a guitar circle and they loved the different sound I bought - not all groups are like this) sometimes the group needs a bass, sometimes a keyboard… different groups
    play different music. Some groups are elitist jerk who demand prooven perfection before they let you in. some are funamentalists in the wrong religion. And so on. So prepare to search a lot to find a group you fit with.
