Virtual Farm Tours
What does the conservation planning process look like on different kinds of farms, with owners and operators with various different goals? These virtual farm tours introduce you to farmers and the technical staff who work with them to address resource concerns on their farms.
The tours combine video interviews with the landowners, conservation planners and technicians, along with links to relevant resources and 360o photos that you can navigate to see practices implemented on the farms.
