QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA (RFD News) —Auburn University graduate students are getting a firsthand look at agriculture on a global scale during a recent trip to Australia.
Traveling with the Alabama Extension Agronomic Crops Team, the group is seeing how farming works in a different part of the world while also recognizing some of the same practices they see back home.
Alabama Extension Entomologist Scott Graham says the experience has helped broaden their perspective: “I think this really just opened their eyes. Like, I say, just to see what’s outside of Alabama and outside of the US and just how big this system is.”
Students say farmers in both places face many of the same challenges, including crop decisions, pest management, and profitability.
The trip is also helping them understand how connected agriculture is, even across different countries.
The Auburn College of Agriculture also offers similar trips to Mexico, Brazil, and Italy.
