The meeting started with an introduction.
Review
Handouts quickly reviewed:
· DIRA – Institute of agriculture agreement
· CVP plot management FAQs
· CVP Plot record of events
Demonstrations:
· It was demonstrated how to measure an acre using actual length measurements (63.5m by 63.5m) instead of using pacing (70 by 70)
· We made 1m stick and give them to use for measuring their fields
· The Rain gauge and a recording sheet were given to Pastor and instructed them how to use it. They had many question about the rain gauge.
With them we measured a 0.5 acre adjacent their church. This will be used for corn. The other 0.5 acre which will be used for edible beans is far from the church. We instructed to follow the same procedures to get the correct dimensions.
