Jerome, Idaho (KMVT-TV) Staff members from the University of Idaho got a first hand look at how we do agriculture here in Magic Valley.

It's part of a two and a half day tour that started in Moscow, and has continued through Grangeville, Cascade, and Boise. One of this afternoon's stops was the Si-Ellen Dairy southeast of Jerome.

Rob Spear, Athletic Director for the University of Idaho, says, "I think it's very important for people working at our institution that has a statewide mission to get out and see the impact that our school has on all areas of the state of Idaho."

Spear says the bus tour has seen everything from a logging mill to this dairy farm. After visiting Hailey and Silver Creek today, the group will stop off at the Aquaculture Center in Hagerman tomorrow to wrap up their tour.
