"No sane farmer would lose one good weather harvest day to show San Francisco 'techies' around their operation."

Welcome to Founders Farm Summit. What started as a meme, then a group text, then 3B of market cap showing up in Iowa one year, has now celebrated three annual summits. Ride in a combine, drive the tractor, shoot guns, eat incredible barbecue, fly an 80MPH drone, see the behind the scenes of what makes America the global hegemon. And do it with a great group of people.

No investors. IPO startups, late stage private, early all attend.

Friday:

  • 🛬 Land at Des Moines International Airport. There's a t-shirt about it being international.
  • 🍂 Fall welcome party, catered by Flying Mango. Guy Fieri went here.
  • 🍸 Cocktails in Des Moines. An elitist tech cocktail Twitter was impressed with this spot.

Saturday:
  • 🇪🇸 Visit Madrid, Iowa en route to the farm. You'll have incredible barbecue.
  • 🚜 Farm. Rotate among five locations and three machines: combine, tractor/grain cart, semi truck, ripper, and grain elevator. Watch this video.
  • 🍻 Enjoy a microbrew. This place confuses the locals because it serves beer but not food.
  • 👤 Evening at "shouse." That's a shed house.

Sunday:
  • 🏹 Shoot guns and bow and arrow.
  • 🛫 Depart Sunday afternoon. There's a 4:10 to SFO.
