Several recent classes have been spent at the orchard on Gilbert Road, where the students have been learning to use appropriate machinery for small-scale farms.
They have been cultivating and making beds for potatoes, pumpkins, and corn.
The little Kubota tractor has provided practice in mowing and using the front-end loader.
In areas where the soil was compacted the students tried deep cultivation with shovel and broad fork before making beds.
