Course: SLF 155 Small Farm Maintenance and Operations

Unit 6 Assignment

Fence Selection, Discovery Interview (25 points)

For this assignment, you will interview a fruit and vegetable crop farmer you know or talk to your local area agriculture extension center to find out their opinions of the best types of fencing to protect fruit and vegetable crops.

If you are interviewing a farmer you know ask them what types of fencing they use for their crops and lessons they have learned along the way.

If you call your local area extension center, you will want to have a specific crop in mind (like strawberries, potatoes, watermelon, lettuce or corn) so they can best assist you. Pick a crop you think you might want to grow in the future.

Once you have gathered the information write a 1-2 paragraph report about your discoveries and submit it to the Dropbox folder found on the course home page. This assignment is worth 25 points.
