Mustafa Kemal Ataturk planned to develop modern Turkish Republic in his every sector. Agriculture was the major sector in those years. On the other hand, the methods were old- fashioned that’s why it should have been modernized. Within this goal, he ordered to have a farm established. A farm was established in the middle of Ankara (the capital of TR). His goals were to make applications and to develop agricultural production. He also stated that his plan was to spend time in a farm after his retirement. But he couldn’t achieve his goal. He couldn’t see this farm as he passed away in 1938. It is known as Ataturk Forest Ranch today.

Nowadays Ataturk Forest Ranch is in agenda because of different reasons. It was a huge area, and it was capable of producing everything that Turkish Republic needed. A presidential palace and an embassy were built on it. This area has been used out of its main function for years. It was Ataturk’s legacy and he left it to Turkish public as a facility for agriculture.

Forever Ataturk…
