The tour showcased these beautiful farms and provided useful information on local sustainable agriculture.

A box lunch was served during the tour that was prepared by Ponderosa and enjoyed by all.

The Highland County Farm Bureau and Highland Soil and Water Conservation District would like to thank Reed’s Trailer Sales for supplying the trailers, Five Points Implement for supplying the John Deere Gators and Kroger of Hillsboro for donating bottled water to help ensure the event was a great success.
