Abstract
An educational program helped non-farmers better understand agriculture through presentations and farm tours. Approximately 850 people participated and reported that the program was an enlightening, worthwhile experience. Two focus groups were held to assess attitudes about land use and quality of life issues in the Des Moines metro area.
