Students from across the region logged online to watch Niota, Tennessee dairy farmer Riley Mason of Harmonyway Dairy give a virtual tour of his farm. Riley introduced students to the calves, explaining the special care they receive and how they are introduced into older groups before showing participating classes how the dairy's robotic milking machines work and how they are stored in milk tanks. Additional information on cow feed was given before Riley answered young students questions on how cows spend each day. This tour was shared live on Zoom and Facebook, with a recording being shared to YouTube so more classes can learn about dairy later in the year. This tour is the second of five planned for the 2020-2021 school year
