After passing by the farmhouse (which featured a dog laying on the porch), guests entered the Barn Theater. Here, images of various forms of agriculture were shown and the tour guide explained to guests that research was continuing to make agriculture more efficient. Examples of this progress included better machines, fertilizers, and seeds. The guide also told guests that much of the food served in [[EPCOT Center]] was grown using these techniques.
