After weeks of learning, field observations, and crop care, our corn is finally ready for harvest! This marks a rewarding milestone for our FFS on Corn participants as they reap the fruits of their hard work.

Following the harvest, the participants weighed the different corn varieties to compare their yields and assess which varieties performed better under the field conditions in Barangay Bankal.

After a productive day of harvesting and yield assessment, everyone gathered for a simple lunch, sharing food, stories, and laughter as we celebrated this meaningful learning experience. 🌽💚

The 15th week marked the final learning session of our Farmer Field School on Corn. For the past 15 weeks, every Friday has been a day of learning, sharing, field activities, and meaningful conversations with our farmer-participants.

There is a feeling of sadness and happiness as we reach the end of our regular sessions. Sad because our Friday gatherings have become something we look forward to, but happy and grateful for the knowledge, experiences, friendships, and memories we have built along the way.

Malipayon kami kag medyo masubo man, kay natapos na ang aton regular nga mga sesyon, pero daku gid ang amon kalipay kag pagpasalamat sa tanan nga natun-an kag naexperiensyahan naton sa sulod sang 15 ka semana.

Salamat gid Bankal Farmers Association sa inyo nga pagbaton kag pagsuporta sa sini nga programa. Your commitment and enthusiasm will always be one of the most memorable parts of this learning journey. The Municipal Agriculture Office recognizes your active participation, commitment and perseverance.

As we prepare for the upcoming FFS Graduation, may the lessons and experiences gained throughout this journey continue to guide our farmers toward better and more productive corn farming. 🌽💚
