Coleambally Central School students were able to enjoy a sweet reward for their hard work after students planted their own corn. Nine classes from the school sowed corn in late November and returned to the school in the first semester to see how high the crops had grown. Agriculture teacher Brioni Fattore said the idea came from Pioneer MIA Farm Services consultant Chris Smith, who then gave tips for seed and cultivation for the students. The students then put their products and pride on the lineup with an expert team that evaluated the results in February. The panel of judges included Mr. Smith, Scott Hardy, Shane Pound, Clint Shields and Pioneer’s Southern NSW sales manager Luke Gooden. “Each class presented for judging the two best katahi based on the length and width of the ears. The panel of judges counted the kernels, measured the length of the ears and checked the taste of each application, ”said Mrs. Fattore.
