Students tune in to virtual farm tours

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Three spring 2023 Virtual Farm Tours, coordinated by American Dairy Association North East, drew 25,000 viewers to learn how milk is sustainably and safely produced.

Since launching the Virtual Farm

Tour concept in 2018, the tours have racked up more than 620,000 viewers from 49 states between the live and recorded broadcasts.

Farmer hosts this spring included Tyler Beck from Beck Farms, Freeville, New York; Chris Waddell of

Apple Shamrock Farms, Townville, Pennsylvania; and Crystal Stambaugh Edwards of Pheasant Echos Farm, Westminster, Maryland.

Two separate tour sessions, along with free lesson plans, took place on the same day at each farm.
