Yeonggwang-gun to Recruit Students for 'Agricultural College Curriculum' Until the 9th of Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Joon-sung) announced on the 19th that it will recruit 80 students (40 for the Strawberry Course, 40 for the Hanwoo Course) by the 9th of next month for the operation of the "13th Yeonggwang Agricultural University Education Program."

The Agricultural University was first established in 2008 to help farmers respond to changes in the agricultural environment, cultivate professional agricultural managers, and provide agricultural information so they can successfully settle in agriculture and rural areas. Since then, it has been operated every year with enthusiastic interest from farmers.

This year's program, operated to meet the aspirations of farmers who want to receive education on reducing production costs and systematic cultivation techniques for new crops, and to increase farm income, will run from next month until November.

The education program will be conducted once a week on Mondays (Strawberry Class) and Thursdays (Hanwoo Class), totaling 44 sessions and 100 hours each.

The curriculum will include not only agricultural theory but also strawberry seedling techniques, nutrition, causes and countermeasures of physiological disorders, field consulting, Hanwoo diseases and preventive management, Hanwoo nutrients and digestive physiology, and on-site farm education.

Any farmer residing in the county can apply for the course by visiting the Agricultural Technology Center.

A county official said, "The Agricultural University has actively reflected the educational needs of farmers for agricultural development," adding, "The Agricultural Technology Center will strive to strengthen farmers' capabilities through customized theoretical education and field-centered training so that it can establish itself not only as a professional agricultural manager training institution but also as an agricultural specialized educational institution."
