[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 8201366, member: 2119"] Though I’m not against education there is “college knowledge” and there is the “benefit of experience”. Would anybody want to start out farming purely based on a college course? I thought about this when I did my PA1 and 2. I thought I wouldn’t want to be relying on this to get me through, useful as it was in its own way. It’s not just raw knowledge either. It’s attitude and motivation that you pick up from the old folks. Without the right attitude and approach, knowledge is only half the battle. So yes I think we are losing a lot of skills, though possibly they are “life skills” rather than technical knowledge which needs updating regularly anyway. [/QUOTE]
