learning

Today was our final day of classroom studying prior to writing the BC Pesticide Applicators Test. Lots of capitals, makes this seem very important. In truth I guess that it is important, though I believe that many of us will continue following the patterns of application that we have learned over the years are effective on our farms, irrespective of what best practices the Ministry of Agriculture teaches.

Tomorrow's test should be interesting. Our instructor has done a great job of highlighting those areas of most importance and I expect we will all pass easily. That being said, there is that little tickle of pre-examination anxiety.

Which ever way it goes, it will be good to get back to the farm on Monday.

I received a terrific package of CD's today from an America outfit called, The Learning Company. I ordered three separate courses on CD, Augustine, an eight hour series of lectures, Religion and Philosophy, which runs to 24 hours, and the Old and New Testaments.

This is getting near to the part of the farm's season where there is a lot of spraying of weeds and the hours walking the fields pass pretty quickly when a good and interesting program is flowing through the headphones. I am really looking forward to working through these courses over the next couple of months.

Well, that is enough of rattling the can for today.
