L3 Agriculture Totally Kiwi Field Trip

Agriculture

On Thursday 29th February, the Level Three Agriculture class went on a field trip to a Linseed field just outside of Methven for their Agribusiness assessment.

They learnt how Bio Oils New Zealand take the linseed crop and turn it into oil to be sold by their Totally Kiwi brand. Some students decided to try some freshly extracted oil and some of the linseed flake left over from the extraction process.

Thanks to Daryl from Bio Oils New Zealand for providing insights into the linseed/flaxseed industry.
