AGRICULTURE IN FOCUS

This not so little piggy went to market
On display at the DAEA 'co-operatives Indaba' at ZCBF Community Park this week is three year-old 'Boxer' an impressive boar seen here with Department of Correctional Services Vryheid Area Commissioner - Errol Korabie. Boxer - whose aggressive attitude shows that he clearly takes no prisoners - has an impressive service record that shows that he has fathered 647 piglets. The DCS is well represented at the summit, sharing information on their many agriculture-related projects for the rehabilitation and education of prison offenders, much of which takes place at the 3 000ha DCS farm at Ncome

The timing of the 'Co-operative Indaba' being hosted this week by the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs coincided perfectly with the re-launch of the Zululand Observer's monthly agricultural supplement. 'Agri Focus' is no more, and in its place is the exciting new KwaZulu Farming which will be highlighting the region's established and emerging farmers and sharing vital agricultural news and views
