00:15It's always the animals and the people that bring them along.

00:18Ag is super important to what we do, it's in our heritage.

00:21But the thing that we do for agriculture is we give a chance for a whole lot of people

00:25who live in the city who don't get a chance to see animals and farmers, see how amazing

00:30these animals are and how much care we take of them.

00:33It's one of the best things we can do, and these two are getting a bit feisty on me,
