Agricultural Field Trips

The Agriculture classes at the College have been busy with practical field trips for our Senior students.

Year 13 Agriculture students visited Brydone Growers last week to study organic potato cropping. The trip was very interesting and provided in depth information that will help the students to investigate and report on the production and marketing of a nationally significant primary product.

Meanwhile Year 12 students learned about embryo transfer and the benefits of using technology and genetics to improve livestock productivity on a visit to Fossil Creek Angus. (pictured below: Jack Dwyer gets hands on experience of flushing embryos!)

We are very grateful to local farmers and experts who give up their time and share their experience.
