Launceston and Wadebridge Young Farmers joined together last
Thursday for a farm walk. The clubs travelled to Truro
where they visited a daffodil farm. The club members were given an interesting
overview of the background and history of the farm, and then proceeded with a
tour of the yard. He showed them the work which occurs within the summer season
and also demonstrated machines which are used to clean, dry and grade the
bulbs.
It was eye opening to gain a greater understanding of the
flower picking process, and relate this to the market and customers. The
evening provided an excellent insight into a type of farming which is scarcely
seen in our area of Cornwall . We
would like to thank everyone at the farm for their kind hospitality.
