Guangming Farm is a state-owned farm mainly planted with crops such aswheat and corn and producing milk and dairy products. During this visit,the students saw the grand farmland and were deeply impressed by the modernagricultural technology and the completely mechanized operation of wheatharvest in particular. The trip culminated in a visit to a manufacturing processof dairy products.
