Virtual Tours of Turkey Farms– All Grades, with parental supervision
Thanksgiving has just passed, and I thought it would be interesting to find out how Turkeys are raised on farms. Here are two videos that offer tours of Turkey farms:
Turkey Farm Tour
Watch a video (YouTube) of a large, technology-run family farm in Minnesota. The emphasis on this video is the dietary component of the food that is fed to the turkeys.
Free Range Turkey Farm
Watch a two-minute video (YouTube) of turkeys raised on a free-range family farm in British Columbia.
NOTE: Please remember that videos on YouTube allow unedited comments posted by visitors, along with randomly generated ads. Parents, as always, should preview the content and supervise all Internet use.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
