Farms that incorporate an educational element in their practice can be profitable and satisfying for farmers. If you farm and do not want to advertise and organize farm tours on your own, I would recommend contacting your local FFA chapter. Many chapters put on “Food for America” field trips that bring elementary-aged children to local farms to educate them about livestock and crop production. Your farm could host such a field trip, which would cut down on the planning you have to do. By sharing their experiences and being transparent, farmers can take initiative to promote a positive agricultural image.Kelliann Blazeknoreply@blogger.com
