Episode 7 - Have you ever had 800,000+ visitors on your farm?

Your Dairy Checkoff

In this episode of Your Dairy Checkoff Podcast, our farmer hosts have a conversation with Allison Ryan from MVP Dairy, and Brittany Snyder from the Adopt A Cow Program about virtual farm tours, especially how to handle when things go wrong with a live audience.

Many state and regional checkoffs including national and local farmers give virtual farm tours to industry professionals like dietitians and dairy buyers as well as tens of thousands of school children every year. While virtual tours don’t give the smell and feel of the farm, they have proven to reach thousands of people via recording no matter where and who they are. But what happens when things go sideways while you are live because farmers know all too well anything can happen on the farm! Tune in as Georgia dairy farmer Katelin Benkoski and Iowa dairy farmer Dan Venteicher converse with these tour giving experts on how to address those awkward situations, technology fails, and even tough questions from the crowd.
