Agri Tourism Nebraska's fastest growing Industry..



An alternative enterprise for ranchers to help diversify and supplement their traditional operations. Reasons for including agri-tourism in travel plans are to watch and participate in ranch activities, education by better understanding where food comes from and the cost of production and investment, petting farm animals, see orchards, vineyards, organically raised crops and animals, grazing animals and to see rural areas. One success story that the Tourism Industry of America recently noted is the state of Vermont, where income from agri-tourism related activities on farms in 2000 totaled $10.5 million.Of all the farms in that state, 31% received income from agri-tourism.
