We are just south of you. While we are not in the midwest, the system we are trying to design would benefit the trout growers of your state as well. I can give tours whenever there is a need for them. This is an open invite to you and all.

We are operating out of a 400-450 gallon/min spring. We have about 20000 gallons in our system not including the pond. We are just underway in the marketing department. Lucky for us we have a little funding so selling our product will be extra funding, but it won't put us under if we don't find a home for it for a while. After I mention that we are just south of you I mapped it and it seems that its more like 5ish hours south. We are an WVU farm and I work under the extension program. If you want to swing by any day in the future let me know and I will give you the grand tour personally.
