Many modern people are not hard to distinguish between the four bodies and five grains, especially college students in colleges and universities, can not distinguish between rice and wheat are a large number of people. However, Hangzhou has some university students, to the fields of vegetable gardening is a mandatory course. From the freshman year to work in the field, planting turnips and sweet potatoes, you can not get credits can not graduate.
Are you afraid of getting a tan in the sun? I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm afraid of the bugs on the turnips and greens? I don't think so. The point is, the school hired a teaching assistant, or senior farmers, and the requirements are very strict, it is impossible to fool.
These students are from the College of Agriculture at Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University, and I don't know how they got through four years of college.
The radishes in our garden are just starting to sprout, and the spinach is growing well, so I think we'll be able to eat it in a while. We planted are organic vegetables, usually managed very carefully, the quality is certainly much better than the market ......" said Zhu Yu, class president of Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University Modern Agriculture 172 class. Into the university is less than two months, now, the class of students do farming like a model. Usually a free time, will consciously go to the responsibility of the field in addition to weed watering.
The school was hired as a technical director of the agricultural garden Ye Zhiming master, when a lifetime of farmers, he did not dream that he would one day be a university teacher.
Master Ye taught, can be real technical work: how to fertilize, turn the land, ridging, how to select and nurture a variety of fruit and vegetable seedlings ......
Master Ye said: "Nowadays, most of the university students, most of them have not been engaged in agricultural labor, especially in Zhejiang, basically all the students don't know how to do farm work. Only some students from western provinces have some labor experience and hoe the ground in style."
The students in each class are very confident about the dozens of square meters of vegetable plots managed by their classes.
"The seeds of the radishes and spinach we grow are the best varieties selected by our teachers, and we use organic fertilizers processed from dead branches and leaves on campus. The water we pour is mountain spring water from the reservoir behind the school. The time and method we use for watering, sowing and turning the soil are also the most scientific, and the vegetables we grow are sure to be the best.
Experience the hard work of the farmer's uncle.
