Farmers' Comments...

It's always fascinating to see how others tackle similar problems to the ones on our farm... great to get that little 'light-bulb moment' when you find something which will work. We've made quite a few useful things from your magazine

Dear Principal / Head of Agriculture

In the next 12 months I intend to do more work in farming education, and have drawn up a brief list of ways I can contribute, and help prepare students for the challenges they face after leaving college, the time they will be required to come up with solutions to a wide variety of problems.

A. Talks / lectures on:
    1. cutting farm costs through innovative machinery policies
    2. novel ideas for livestock production
    3. arable innovations and methods
    4. making the farm workshop a profit centre

B. E-mailed articles or tutorials on innovative agri management for students

C. Student project work:
    1. Selecting ideas for projects
    2. Judging projects as individual or in a panel
    3. Presenting prizes with or without presentation speech

D. Providing editorial about the college and its students in future issues of Practical Farm Ideas

E. Educational project: Starting a Farm Ideas Student Innovation Award

Best wishes
