The past eight days have been nothing short of amazing! We started out the week by getting to see the capital city, Montevideo, for a few days. We saw open air food markets, beautiful sandy beaches, and different historical monuments. We then hit the road to start farm tours. Our first stops were a large dairy operation and even larger beef operation. At Los Tilos, the beef cattle operation, we walked a couple of miles (or maybe more) through their rolling pastures and examined their forages and cattle. The next few days consisted of a rice processing plant and rice farm plus, an unbelievable evening at a sheep and beef operation that concluded with riding horses and learning about some of the experiments that INIA was conducting. One of the last stops was a winery that included a wine tasting. Our last couple of days were spent in the city of Punta del Este seeing more beautiful beaches and getting ready to head back to the States.<\/p>\n
This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I will forever be grateful for the chance to experience it. Being able to see the differences and similarities in agriculture in another country is unbelievable. I am also so thankful to have received a scholarship toward this trip. While I was ready to head back to Georgia, I hope to be able to go back to Uruguay in the future.<\/p>\n
