On the outside, Brazilian ag may have many similarities to farms in the U.S. But a closer inspection may reveal big differences in management and size. On a recent Farm Futures tour of Brazil, Senior Editor Bryce Knorr visited Parana, Brazil's main ag production hub. While there, he examined animal and grain farms, highlighting the farm management practices that many operators undertake to make a Brazilian farm work.

In part four of a five-part series, Knorr reviews his visit to a seed processor's field day and a custom harvested farm.
