The New York Farm Bureau Ag Master Kiosk will be available at Frontenac Point Vineyard-Estate Winery through the fall.
The kiosk allows people to test their knowledge about
agriculture, watch the process of growing grapes to make wine, juice and jelly,
or take a self paced “Visit to a Dairy Farm.” The Ag Master Kiosk can be an interactive “Ag Jeopardy”
style game or, if you choose, a informational presentation.

People can watch a variety of subjects,
including one on the History of New York Agriculture, or play the Ag Master
Game. The contemporary template engages youth and adults with
customized agricultural visuals, questions and information.
Developed by the New York Farm Bureau, Promotion and
Education Program, the Ag Master Kiosk can be found at various locations
throughout the year. It will be at Frontenac Point Vineyard – Estate Winery through
the fall for anyone to use.
Farm Bureau states "The interactive display is not only eye-pleasing, but compliments
agriculture and relates a true picture and creates an understanding via a
first rate presentation."
"The program includes 10 categories (five
on-screen for each game) with multiple choice and true-false questions
in a “Jeopardy” style format," according to the Farm Bureau website. "Photographs enable the player a clear
visual of all the agricultural categories. A rotating database of
questions presents tremendous variety and differing game boards. The
pictures represent agriculture at its best and supply needed visuals for
the consuming public."
The winery, on Route 89 in Trumansburg, Tompkins County, was started in 1982 by Jim and Carol Doolittle
and the tasting room is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; noon to 4:30 p.m. Sundays; and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays.
The Ag Master Kiosk if free to use
and a fun diversion for people who are too young to taste wine or who do not want to take part in a wine tasting.
