This photo album features highlights of activities at Trout Lake Farm East, including the fields and the hardworking team that ensures robust plant harvests, season after season. Many thanks to Darwin Hintz, Technology Manager for Nutrilite/Amway Global Agribusiness, for taking these great photos!

Weeds are being controlled with the use of heat. Flame weeding uses intense heat to help rupture the plant cells and causes the weed to wither and die without the use of chemical pesticides. Ephrata, Wash, March 2020. Photo: Darwin Hintz
TLF East Farm Manager Phil Hintz (right) and GPS Tractor Operator Luis Garcia (left) discuss the plan for the day. Repeat this type of interaction throughout the day with individual crew leaders—whether in the field, out the pickup window or around the equipment—and it helps ensure everyone is on the same page.
