Maybe you didn’t know that by visiting World Dairy Expo you can actually tour a number of different farms while you’re at the show! They’re “Virtual Farm Tours.”

Some of the most efficient dairy operations from coast to coast will be featured in World Dairy Expo’s 2005 Virtual Farm Tour program. Attendees can take advantage of touring operations from Iowa, Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, Minnesota, Texas, Kansas and Vermont without ever leaving the Expo grounds.

The tours will be presented Tuesday through Saturday in the Exhibition Hall meeting rooms. Producers will present a half-hour video or pictorial overview of their operations, featuring everything from management practices and on-farm processing to employee relations and manure management. Time for questions and answers will follow. There is no cost for these tours. Tour sponsors include: AgStar Financial Services, NutriDense/BASF Plant Science, Badgerland Farm Credit Services, Udder Tech, Inc., Cover-All Building Systems, Page & Pedersen International, Ltd., Performance Products, Inc., Mycogen Seeds, Purina Mills, LLC and Vita Plus Corporation.
