YPN Community Connections Tours provide the opportunity to get an inside look at a local business. Help us celebrate Manufacturing Week in South Dakota with a tour of Raven Industries, Inc.! Dedicated to advancing farming through innovation and technology, Raven provides innovative, high-value products and systems that help farmers serve the world. As a member of the CNH Industrial family of brands, Raven’s groundbreaking work in autonomous systems is unlocking new possibilities in farming — driving tractors down the field, wirelessly connecting the office and the cab, and protecting the environment with controlled outputs. Raven’s manufacturing operations team in Sioux Falls builds these high-tech products from the ground-up, focusing on quality every step of the way. Registration is required.

Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve. Read the book and come prepared and be ready to have a great discussion!
