See what participants are saying about the most valuable part of the Tour...

“Today’s tour has been the highlight of my professional training for this year!
I not only gained very useful CEU’s in Soil and Water Management…I got to network with people I have not be introduced to before….this was a great experience.”

"We utilize cover crops on our farm knowing how important they are. I learned so much more today and look forward to putting it into practice. THANK YOU!"

"I thought this year’s tour was focused much more on solutions than merely on practices and that was GREAT!"

"Meeting new friends in our business and seeing beautiful parts of the country. Great to see people out of Washington on Tour to learn more about agriculture."

"The farmers — seeing and hearing how no-till works, the media hearing our story, the government officials having the 'live' experience."
