Cindy Hyde-Smith: Sees agri-tourism as a great tool in educating the youth

Through targeted marketing campaigns and educational initiatives, we can support our growers and help them increase visibility and seek out new markets. Agri-tourism has a promising future in Mississippi . What better place to jump-start this trend on a local level, than with our youth? Just think of all the schools in our 82 counties that are all looking for educational field trips. The agricultural community can provide excellent demonstrations of our most essential industry.
