CRPSC502-SUPERVISION OF CROPPING ACTIVITIES
Introduction
Supervision is the task of overseeing the work of other staff in a business or
organisation.
Most teachers of agriculture have long realized that for the satisfactory
development of programs of supervised farming, instruction at school is not
enough, regardless of how well it is done. To be successful in all teaching
activities the vocational agriculture instructor must be just as much concerned
with the agricultural activities with those which conducted in the classroom.
Farming is a complex business and this complexity will diminish only to the
degree that teachers of vocational agriculture utilize all resources in the
development of supervised farming programs. The course of Supervision
teaches about the key skills necessary to become an effective supervisor.
This module describes the skills and knowledge required to supervise
agricultural crop establishment, including planning and scheduling
seeding/planting based on the crop production plan. The unit applies to
individuals who take responsibility for own work and for the quality of the
work of others.
