1949 Farmers inspect a drainage scheme

Farmers at a special rehabilitation course inspect a drainage scheme. The Rehabilitation Department invited the College to arrange a short farm school in May, 1949, in Marlborough for the ex-servicemen on farms in that district. With the cooperation of local farmers on whose properties demonstrations and field days were held and of the Air Force at Woodbourne. Some 50 ex-servicemen attended. The programme consisted of demonstrations, talks and discussions on animal husbandry, veterinary problems, field crop production, pastures and agricultural engineering. (source).
