After breakfast we boarded a plane to fly to Shanghai. Once we landed we were off to visit another greenhouse. Shanghai Sun Qiao Modern Agriculture was a plant research facility near Shanghai.
We didn't actually stay in Shanghai tonight, but we took a long bus ride to Suzhou. Before heading to our hotel we visited a dairy farm. I grew up on a dairy farm so this was one of the most interesting visits so far. There were about 200 dairy cows on the farm, but they were still milking in stanchion barns. The herd was comprised of all Holsteins, but they were half the size of those in the United States. Their dairy farm was much different from one you would see in the United States. In fact, they were expanding their herd but instead of building a milking parlor they were constructing another stanchion barn.
On the ride back to the hotel I got some sleep. I am starting to miss American food very much.
