Many groups help to enhance farm management skills
TORONTO - More than 4,000
fanners, a few hundred agribusi-
ness personnel, and over 30 farm
and agribusiness organizations,
have helped the Ontario Agricultu-
ral Training Institute (OATI) con-
tinue to offer a variety of opportu-
nities for fanners to enhance their
farm management skills.
During the past year, hands-on
training courses were offered for
more than 4,000 registrants across
Ontario.
The most popular courses were
computer skills development; oth-
ers covered marketing, financial
management, human resources,
and production management.
Farmers were directly involved
in determining the courses that
would be available in their com-
munities.
Requests for OATI flpiding
came from Local Agricultural
Training Needs Identification com-
mittees across the province. Farm-
ers also assisted in developing the
course contents to meet their
needs, and taught most of the
courses.
These programs offered new
farm management information to
large groups of people or one-on-
one consulting services to directly
assist individuals in applying farm
management concepts to their
farms.
