Get Flash to see this video.

Eric and Maria Rund have lived and farmed in rural Pesotum for 27 years. Eric met his wife in Ecuador, where he spent five years with the Peace Corps from 1969 to 1974. When he’s not growing corn and beans, or raising hogs, Eric is building bridges of understanding between farmers in North and South America. His farm is often a stop on tours of farmers from South America, who leave with a better impression of American farmers. He and Maria also organize tours of American farmers to South America.
