FMTP 012. Farm Practice 3 (152-012-MC).

This course is the second part of the process initiated in Farm Practice 2 by which students analyze the tasks and operations that are related to the workplace functions of the farm manager and establish the relationships with the critical skills and knowledge required for their successful execution. Students undertake a 13-week summer internship on the farm selected in Farm Practice 2 during which they identify the conditions under which the operations are executed and determine the performance criteria used for each task associated with the workplace functions. They evaluate the relative importance of each task in the work process. Students report on their experience in writing during the summer and during a formal presentation to the class upon their return.
