Recap of Farm Walk 2019
Over the course of 10 days more than 3,000 Leaving Cert Agricultural Students from over 100 secondary schools nationwide participated in the 'Farm Walk and Talk 2019' which took place in the Teagasc Colleges and Research Farms. The events also featured talks and support from several of our patrons.
Students were able to gain real-life experiences on working farms and were also able to hear talks from leading agri-food industry experts. From observing cows being milked, comparing different breeds of cattle, examining soil profiles, watching piglets suckle, the students got to experience the realities of the subjects that they are taught each day in the classroom.
