Greetings Farmers
This week, we celebrate Heritage Day, but it’s business as usual in the agriculture sector. Later in the week, the Berries International Summit will take place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. You can also look forward to a livestock auction and the Red Meat Industry Services’ free webinar.
And as we close off the week, don’t forget to save the date for Food For Mzansi’s Soil to Soul event in November, and Agri Skills Transfer’s mega open day in October, where potential students will get an opportunity to engage with the staff of the college on which subjects to take.

Agri Skills Open Day
Want to know why everyone’s talking about Agri Skills Transfer? You have to see it. Hear it. Feel it. Smell it (yes, even the cows to get why we’re not just another training provider).
They do agri training differently. Hands-on learning that actually makes sense: real equipment, real animals, real experience. Short and long courses designed for the future of farming. A vibe that’s modern, practical, and student-focused. Whether you’re dreaming of farming, agribusiness, or just want skills that pay.
Where: Agri Skills Transfer Farm
When: 04 October
Time: 09:00 – 16:00
