In Yozgat, the onset of winter marks the beginning of a crucial period for agricultural education. With fields resting and farmers gearing up for the next planting season, the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry has embarked on a series of winter training sessions to empower local farmers with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the challenges of the agricultural calendar.
Mr. Tanju Özkaya, the Director of Agriculture and Forestry, emphasized the importance of these annual training programs, stating, “Our technical teams, comprised of experts in various fields, conduct extensive workshops covering topics such as plant diseases, pests, agricultural practices, and livestock management. These sessions not only disseminate vital information but also serve as a platform for farmers to voice their concerns and seek solutions.”
Addressing the specific needs of Yozgat’s agricultural landscape, the training sessions extend beyond general practices to address region-specific challenges. Mr. Özkaya further elaborated, “We recognize the significance of addressing issues like the infestation of pests such as bugs and mites in cereal crops and the potential impact of weather conditions on plant and animal health. Therefore, tailored workshops will be conducted throughout the production season to provide timely guidance and support.”
Winter in Yozgat isn’t just a period of dormancy for the fields; it’s a time for farmers to sharpen their skills and knowledge, preparing for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Through proactive education and collaboration, the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry ensures that Yozgat’s agriculture remains resilient and thriving.
