Agriculture Opens Yet Another Training Facility

The Department of Agriculture in the Western Cape is committed to the total empowerment of all the people in the Agricultural home for all.

We place a very high premium on education and on emerging farmers says Cobus Dowry. In an effort to bring agriculture closer to the people, we are opening a third decentralised training facility in 18 months and this time in Oudtshoorn.

Premier Ebrahim Rasool will open the facility on Friday, 24 February 2006 at 10:00 at the Experimental farm of the Department of Agriculture in Oudtshoorn.

You are invited to witness this occasion and report on it.
