Hartpury College Prospectus

Filling their welly boots | Hartpury students filled their (yellow welly) boots with knowledge to keep them safe on the farm. From lost limbs to cow crushes and electrocutions, around 60 Agriculture and Farm Mechanisation students were presented with four scenarios they could encounter on their own farms or when they head out to work. At each scenario, students were asked how they would establish what had happened and what actions they would take. They were then given information about the best way to react to keep themselves as safe as possible and achieve the best outcome for the casualty.

Hartpury’s Home Farm has achieved a number of awards for its dairy herd and forage production.

Cream of the crop | Hartpury students’ hard work paid off with success at the Gloucestershire Root, Fruit and Grain awards. Students on the BTEC courses in Agriculture and Land-based Mechanisation helped Hartpury’s Home Farm to claim top spot in the spring barley category while also being awarded the Kirkwood Cup for first place in the clamp silage category.
