AGRICULTURE EDUCATION THRIVING IN NSW

Minister for Primary Industry Ian Macdonald highlighted the effectiveness of the State Government’s commitment to agricultural education within NSW. Minister Macdonald said this State can be proud of what has been developed to educate farmers and those associated with land management across NSW by the Department of Primary Industries (DPI)’s Tocal College. Mr Macdonald said short courses were delivered by DPI under the PROfarm banner. PROfarm has been an outstanding success with over 18,000 people undertaking courses, most of them farmers and hands-on managers.
