Tour

Caywood Farms Wednesday, Jan. 15, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. • $115 per person

Caywood Farms is a fourth-generation, family-operated farming operation near Casa Grande, Ariz. The family farms cotton and forage crops, and Nancy Caywood Robertson will lead a tour that includes an introduction to cotton farming equipment, a PowerPoint presentation on the operation, a hayride and the chance to pick cotton. Participants should dress in layers for the day-long adventure – which includes an hour long bus ride to and from the farm – as the tour will take place rain or shine. But hey, it’s Arizona in January, so count on more shine than rain. Nancy is an engaged ag educa tor who previously worked with the University of California’s Agricultural and Natural Resources Division to develop the FARM SMART Program that teaches learners of all ages about agriculture. She might even incorporate her passion for fiddle playing into the tour.

Lunch is included in the tour. Merchandise is available for purchase from the Caywood Farms store. The farm store only accepts cash or check. Credit cards are not accepted.

**Meet at the ASI Convention Desk at 8 a.m.

MAXIMUM: 44 PEOPLE
