ag day

Today I played farmer.

Not really.

But I did tour a handful of farms in our county!

A turkey farm.

A cattle farm.

A Century farm.

A grape farm.

A hog farm.

A sheep farm.

And then I went to the Y for a kick-butt workout, and I sweat farm.

It was not pretty.

I stank.

I am hoping to get some photos from the day and do a post in the next few days - it was all very interesting!

  3. Ugh, farm smell. My roommate in college was a Animal and Poultry Sciences major so I am well versed in farm smell :)

  5. This was part of a program I am enrolled in through our Chamber. We meet up once a month and tour various industries around the county.

    @Lisa - I would have LOVED to visit a dairy farm so I could have compared the experience with your blog! I will have to suggest to the committee that they do that next year!
