Hi-Pro and Project STAR kicked off the new year in partnership, hosting a one-day training session for 30 farmers from Treadlight, Racetrack and Havana Heights in Clarendon. The session provided hands-on insights into critical areas such as proper transportation and inspection of baby chicks, house sanitation and preparation, and effective strategies for the grow-out period. At the end of the training, each farmer received 50 baby chicks and three bags of feed, jointly funded in efforts to support and empower local farmers. Sharing in the moment post-session are (from left) Romel Gordon, project officer, Project STAR; farmers Gasford Hall of Treadlight district and Nadine Brown-Mighty of Havana Heights; and Hi-Pro marketing manager, Antonette Bromfield.
