THE FUSE

The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development hosted a Piggery Information Day at Barolong Hall, bringing together local pig farmers for a day of practical learning and business support. The event aimed to provide farmers with the tools and knowledge needed to grow, formalise, and sustain their pig farming operations. Attendees received guidance on key areas such as animal health, feed management, funding, and mentorship programs. The session highlighted the importance of adopting best practices and connecting with networks that can strengthen their businesses. By fostering an environment of learning and collaboration, the Department reinforced its commitment to supporting local agricultural development and boosting small-scale farming enterprises.
