YEAR 12 AGRICULTURE & HORTICULTURE EXCURSION

On Wednesday 1st March, the Year 12 Agriculture and Horticulture Class travelled to three different farms in the Lake Boga area, Bethune Dairy, Chasney Estate and Wattle Organic Farm. This excursion is part of their assessment for Unit 3, where they are investigating how the agriculture and horticulture industries are responding to a range of challenges through innovations and solutions. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with farmers and to learn from them what changes to farm practices that they have implemented, the advantages and disadvantages of farming in Lake Boga/Tresco and their ideas for the future. A big thank you to Sally Bethune, Gary Chasney and Nathan Free for sharing their time and their passion for the industry.
