Highlights of the event include opportunities to meet farm animals at a petting farm hosted by the Aims Agriculture Club, featuring sheep, goats, alpacas and other livestock. Guests can also see newly hatched chicks in the agricultural sciences classroom and learn about poultry care and incubation.

Community partners and organizations will also participate in the open house. Georgia Boys BBQ will be on site with a food truck, while Colorado State University’s Sci on the Fly program will offer engaging science demonstrations related to agriculture. Forward Steps: Realizing Aptitudes will provide immersive virtual reality experiences, and Dairy MAX will share information about dairy farming. The Fort Lupton Public and School Library will also participate in the event.

Several Aims programs will showcase the wide range of careers connected to agriculture. The Aims CDL Training program will feature its commercial truck driving simulator, allowing visitors to experience what it’s like to operate a large truck. The Aims Welding program will also host interactive activities highlighting its role in supporting agricultural industries.

In addition, the Aims Ag Club will be accepting preorders for its annual plant sale during the event.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
