Land Clearing

Today is our first face to face meeting for the subject FPA400. For the first time we met our lecturer, Madam Samihah binti Mustafa after 6 weeks of online classes. On Friday, 10 December 2021, Madam Samihah instructed us to gather in front of the UITM farm office at 8 am. After all the class members gathered, we have been briefed by our lecturer to makes  land clearing work. Mr. Khairul, as an officer involved in the management of plantation equipment has explained to us the ethical use and management of plantation equipment.

    After borrowing the equipment for land work clearing, we go to an area of​​land that has been set aside to our class until the end of the semester. We use machete, wheelbarrow, hoe, sickle, rake for land clearing. After that, we started land clearing work until thick grass, saplings and small trees were cut down. Land clearing work was done to facilitate the entry of machinery for plowing purposes. We finished work at 10 am and returned all the tools in the management store
