Very recently, I was in Pitogo, in Brgy P Zamora,Guihulngan, where there is an ongoing seminar called the Farmer Field School on Corn. About 60 participants are attending this 4-month long seminar on corn production, each farmer is asked to attend regular classes every Monday morning.
Farmers are required to tend (by group) a plot of corn using different treatments (like trials on variety or trials on different organic fertilizers) and they report their findings to the big group. Afterwards, technicians from the Municipal Agriculture Office conduct lectures on various phases of corn production, and also on special topics. Last week, the special topic was on artificial insemination of large cattle conducted by Mr. Oscar Vittorio "Donga" Trinidad
I wish this group of farmers all the best in their endeavors. Congratulations to Guihulngan Municipal Agriculture Staff for showing much dedication in their work!
