We visit Richmond TAFE in Western Sydney to speak to the teachers about their Agriculture course. We chat to Kay Carter, the head teacher of Agriculture. She explains what's involved in the course. She shows us through some old equipment of the agricultural sector, and shares the modern, sustainable machinery used in Agriculture today.

Michael Cross, Machinery and Maintenance Teacher, shows us some of the modern equipment used by the TAFE. He also shares what's taught with maintenance of these vehicles. He shows what each of the vehicles do with the soil.

Kay shows us the organic farm the students are working on.

She shares the flexibility of the course, part time, full time, or in the evening.
