Many of the Divine Word Farms, part of Divine Word Missionaries, are located in the Des Moines diocese. The farms are a means of support for the missions' work throughout the world, and they also work to care for the land in the process. The newest is an experimental organic farm, located on 40 acres near Weldon. Shown here: Annette Krug, the farm's manager, weighs tomatoes produced on the organic farm.
