Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton (at centre) called into Hermidale Public School recently to check on the students’ Future Farmers project which sees all seven of the school’s students involved in the entire cropping process. “It’s not only about teaching them about all aspects of farming, but it’s helping to equip them with valuable skills for life,” Mr Coulton said. “I’m very impressed with what they’re doing and I look forward to seeing the crop develop.” Mr Coulton is pictured with students Oliver Sheather, Abbie Smith, Ruby Mudford, Jimmy Smith, Marlie Jensen, Matilda Mudford and Ned Gunning, and teacher Rebekah Coddington. ▪ Photo contributed
