    Hi Guys,

    Did many people here attend agriculture training colleges. If you did what aspects of the course did you find useful and what aspects would you change?

    I went to mountbellew 4 or 5 years ago to do the green cert. To be honest I don't think we learned much in the college that you wouldn't have known if you grew up on a farm. The farm placement for 3 months was a good experience I thought though but I got with a good suckler lad which is what I wanted. A lot of lads from suckler farms had to go milking and they had no interest in it.

    Went to Warrenstown for a year.Thought I knew it all before I went!Should have listened a lot more.Got put on Pig Duty for two Practicals coz some fecker had pull and wanted to do crops/machinery each time.It was the one practical that would have been of most use to me!I learned that I information is invaluable and another way of doing things is often better than your own way.
