Next week at the 2007 World Dairy Expo, thousands of dairy enthusiasts, along with Chuck and Cindy, will have the opportunity to take a virtual walk through featured dairy operations that span North America. Virtual Farm Tours will focus on a variety of operation types and sizes, from both the US and Canada, excelling in new technology integration, forage quality, cutting edge facilities, genetics, crossbreeding, embryo transfers, employee relationships and keeping dairying a family business.

The producers will present a half-hour pictorial view of their operation including general farm information and highlights of exceptional farm aspects.
