Photos from Visiting a Dairy Farm

We listen to how federal and state policy affect Virginia's farming families.

Sebastian stands before a field of barley, which is often used to protect against soil erosion.

Stoica checks out the cows by their feeding station.

Many feral cats run free over the property.

We get to see milking taking place.

Stoica eagerly learns about agricultural practices in the United States.

The average age of farmers keeps increasing in Virginia, and the number of farms is shrinking.

The future of farming in Virginia is uncertain, as more and more families leave the industry.
