 WEEK 6 

5/5/2023, FRIDAY


ACTIVITIES

in the 6th week, all students have started their studies after a week's holiday to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. On Friday 5/5 all students must attend rollcall before 630 am as usual. After the roll call was over, we went to the agrotech plantation field to sing the planters song and my national song with the students of part 2 and 3.

After that, we were instructed to go to the equipment store to change shoes and pick up a hoe and go to our respective plots to do the work. This week's work is field drainage and main drainage, replant seedlings and adjusting bed. We did the work until 1030 in the morning and had to stop because of heavy rain. While it was raining we were still in the field and were told to go home at 11am, but had to continue the work in the evening and the next day. Not forgetting that at 10 am we were fed fried rice for breakfast. The meal is paid including rm40 in the second week first .









CHALLENGES

We face various challenges while doing farm work such as having to face very hot weather nowadays. Next, the hard soil makes it difficult to make field drainage and main drainage. Apart from that, all part 1 farm management diploma students also had to face the problem of ragging by farm seniors such as ordering punishments. For example, arriving late to the farm, not listening to the word will be punished with push ups, standing in the heat facing the sun and many more. But those are all challenges that we have to face in the cost of this plantation.

COASTING 

No cost to be issued this week.

REFLECTION

What I learned this week is how to manage field drainage and main drainage, replant seedlings and adjusting bed. I can also train my mind and body to be stronger to face all the challenges ahead. I believe that not everyone is able to go through the various challenges in this cost.

7/7/2023, FRIDAY ACTIVITIES This week is the last week for the farm session and students must do the activities Harvesting and Post-Harvest Care, Final Harvesting Harvest long beans when they are ripe, Monitor the growth of the second crop, use appropriate fertilizers, and harvest the beans when they are ripe. After harvesting all the produce, we weigh and tie the long beans and sell them to buyers. On Friday, the farm activity is land clearing where we have to break the boundary so that it is flat as usual. Before that, we removed the okra trees that were in the border because most of the okra had been damaged by pests and diseases as a result of not applying insecticides. We had to throw it away because it couldn't be saved anymore. Also on Sunday, we have to go down to the farm to do land clearing for the last time. After completing the work, we celebrate with a little feast, which is a cocktail. All part 1 students were happy because that day was the last day to go down to the ...

The harvested plants have been separated, weighed according to type and put in plastic. The vegetable type plants have received a lot of response from uitm staff and lecturers. When it is ready to be weighed and packed, the students sell it to the person who ordered the vegetable.
