I've got a GCSE in agriculture.

Local upper school (we're on 3 school system in West somerset) had a proper farm unit.......til the nearest college took over the running of the school and sold all the stock, laid off the staff..... farm unit buildings still there but land is subletted out

 

[ollie989898]

Our school had GCSE agriculture.

I did Ag Science for HSC (A level equivalent) in Aust. It was well regarded as a science subject and weighted as for Physics, chem, geology and biology by the university admissions board. Don’t know if it is still available.

Can do Ag Science here at Leaving Cert (A level).

Me too; our school had a dedicated department with real, live, livestock and a veg garden. Such a useful subject to study, even if you don’t end up farming.

I did forget there is at least 1 farm with its own school. I know 2 boys who are there and they are doing really well.

you never can be sure who you might be talking to on TFF thats for sure, I have become aware of a few "interesting /notable" members over the years, mostly in just a lurking capacity but some that do post, would love to share more detail but would breach data protection

 

[awkward]

Can do Ag Science here at Leaving Cert (A level).

we could also do ag economics rather than economics as a subject
