I had a law professor in college who spent a full semester hammering on the concept that there are two or more ways of looking at any situation. Suppose the visiting group damages the farmer's property. Doesn't sound like enough of a possibility to get concerned about, BUT:
Look at an absolute worst case scenario. Say a group of students tour a farm that contains a confinement facility for hogs, turkeys, chickens, or whatever. Then they go on to visit a similar facility and in the process track germs and bacteria from the first facility to the second. Then the critters at the second facility are wiped out, maybe up to a million dollars worth. The owner of the second facility loses an entire year's income, plus the cost of decontaminating his facility.
Who would be liable? Sometimes legislation needs to cover all contingencies, not just the most common.
For the record, when we insurance inspectors are required to enter a confinement facility of any sort, our company provides disposable plastic coveralls, complete with built in booties and hoods, to be worn in the confinement facility. Then when we depart, the coveralls remain at the facility for the owner to dispose of as he sees fit. We are then required to wait a minimum of three days before entering another confinement area.
Some situations aren't as simple as they look on the surface.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
