As you head to the New York State Fair, there are some more ways this year to learn about the state's biggest industry -- agriculture.
The
New York State Fair is offering fairgoers a new and exciting way to
learn more through free, guided. The tours will be led by MooU, a private
tour company, and will take visitors through the fair’s various animal
barns, offering insight about the animals and their place in
agriculture.
Tours will begin at the MooU tent, which will be located behind the Agriculture Museum. They will depart every hour starting at 10 a.m. daily
with the last tour departing at 5 p.m.
Tour #1, beginning at 10 a.m. and running every two hours, will include stops at the Dairy Cattle Barn, Beef Barn, Poultry Barn and the
Dairy Cow Birthing Center. Tour #2 will begin at 11 a.m, and run every two hours, stopping at the Goat, Sheep and Swine Barns as well as the World of Horses tent.
Fairgoers also have the chance to text an ag question to an expert on the fairgrounds.
Agricultural experts will monitor a text channel during the fair,
answering questions texted to them.
Signs in each of the barns will provide the phone number where text messages can be sent.
The New York State Fair, operated by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, runs now through Sept. 4.
