Wonderful crops of happy sugarcane have well and truly begun sprouting across the region as Burdekin’s Sweetest School Competition continues to foster the shire’s next generation of farmers and agricultural enthusiasts.
Sponsored by Canegrowers Burdekin, the unique competition works to highlight the agricultural talents of both students and teachers within the area whilst fostering a strong sense of community spirit and collaboration. The friendly initiative also provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the world of agriculture whilst they nurture their own cane crop and Canegrowers Burdekin are passionate about sharing such valuable education with the next generation.
“The competition encourages schools to engage in hands-on learning experiences, promoting environmental awareness and a deeper understanding of the farming process,” shared Canegrowers Burdekin.
“Students get to witness the growth of sugarcane firsthand, from planting to harvesting, and develop a greater appreciation for the hard work and dedication required in agriculture.”
Industry experts will judge each of the school’s crops in May as part of the infamous Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival, and the triumphant school with the best plantation will be awarded $1,000 and a celebratory trophy.
