Changes

The third habitat that guests would visit on Listen to the Land was the prairie, where large bison could be seen grazing. Here, the tour guide would explain that the unpredictable weather of the prairies caused problems for the plant life there. Two examples of this unpredictability, wildfire and storms, could be seen in the horizon, as guests traveled through. Moving on from the prairie, the boats passed by a turn of the century farm, as a country version of “Listen to the Land” played. After passing by the farmhouse (which featured a dog lying on the porch), guests entered the Barn Theater. As images of various forms of agriculture were shown in the barn, 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 was grown using these techniques.
