Another "Bumper Year" on Church Farms and Ranches

A few years ago, a Harvard University professor contacted Wade Sperry, an agricultural specialist in the Church’s welfare department.

The professor explained that he was working on a case study about the welfare department’s vast and varied agricultural projects. He asked if he could spend a few days visiting Church-owned farms, orchards, and beef ranches.

Brother Sperry accompanied the professor and a team of graduate students on their agricultural tour. At each locale, the Harvard contingent witnessed crews of happy volunteers picking fruit, harvesting crops, and wrangling cattle.
