While in England, the students visited the National Farmers's Union for a meeting with NFU's chief lobbyist, Terry Jones. Mr. Jones delivered a presentation on British agriculture including information on markets, subsidies, and history.
The students also visited the University of Reading School of Agriculture where they toured the school's experimental farm and museum.
