Twentythree students from State College of Agriculture, Furth, Germany have been in Cornwall as part of a Horticulture and Agriculture tour of the United Kingdom.
The students who all came from areas around Furth and Batvia are sons and daughters of farmers and growers much like the UK’s Young Farmers Club. They had a range of interests from glasshouse growing to vegetable production. The Students visited Cambridge before coming to Cornwall where they visited tourist’s attractions such as the Eden Project and then spent 2 days touring farms and visiting the College. The Students next stop will be Tresco before returning to Germany.
Bill Herring, curriculum manager for horticulture said: “Duchy College are very proud to host the German Young Farmers Club’s Cornish visit. It was great for us to share farming practises and build oversees relationships.”
