 Great American Barn Tours utilizes existing livestock barns and exhibit buildings at the fair or event facility. We coordinate with management and livestock show participants as well as other agricultural exhibits to provide an educational and organized tour. Great American Barn Tours establishes a starting point that consists of a bright red and white tent as well as beautiful, informative and professional signage. As we walk and talk tour participants through the livestock areas, we also provide them with the option to participate in our interactive, Agriculture in Action stations.|

With tours specially designed for each grade level, we inspire students to understand and appreciate how agriculture affects their everyday lives.  Extremely knowledgeable guides, with a splash of fun, are outfitted in bright, easy to follow, professional uniforms topped with funny animal hats. Each tour is packed with fun, fascinating facts and hands-on experiences. We use state of the art sound equipment and provide printed material so folks can follow along with us. Great American Barn Tours guides will discuss each and every animal in your livestock area, covering topics such as animal terminology, gestation, gender-specific behavior, life span and purpose. They will communicate the industry’s intrinsic appreciation for animals and agriculture, and they will explore the many uses of livestock in all aspects of our lives, from the food on our tables to the paint on our walls. The staff of Great American Barn Tours will use their talent for presentation and love of animals to inspire fairgoers with a new sense of appreciation for the livestock industry, leaving them wanting to come back for more!   These are just some of the fascinating facts your fair patrons will learn with Great American Barn Tours... • Pig and cattle heart valves are used to replace human heart valves. • A top dairy cow can produce enough milk in one day to supply the average family for a month. • It takes 3,000 head of cattle to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year’s supply of footballs. • The waste produced by one chicken in its lifetime can supply enough electricity to run a 100 watt bulb for five hours. • Goats reside at more farms and homes than any other farm animal in the world. |
