A TOTAL of 481 corn farmers from four northern Luzon provinces have received their diplomas after completing practical farming education at the Agricultural Training Institute – Regional Training Center 02 (ATI-RTC 02) spearheaded by the government.
The commencement exercise for the Farmers Field School (FFS) was held recently at the Faustino Dy Gymnasium in Echague, Isabela.
The graduates came from Baggao and Tuao towns in Cagayan, Aglipay in Quirino, Bagabag in Nueva Vizcaya, and Tumauini, Delfin Albano, Ilagan City, and Echague in Isabela.
The training was meant to boost crop yields, decrease dependency on pesticides, and promote sustainable farming techniques, as well as to provide local farmers with the knowledge and abilities necessary to make sound decisions.
