In the process of writing the article for the Dispers magazine, the To Spray or Not To Spray team took a three day trip to Snoul, Kratie province. On the way there the team stopped at a bunch of agrochemical shops to see what type of pesticide did they selling in their shops and asked for information that we needed. Once we arrived our destination, we just get some rest and be ready for the next day. The next day came and we all excited for it. So we jump on our bus and settle off to the organic farm where all the activities are happening. At the farm we start off by walking all around seeing all the crop they grew there. Then we help the worker there to plant some carrots which were very fun. After that our team started to interview Ramon (farming director) for what we need for our magazine especially about the organic pesticide. The conversation had with Ramon gone amazing, questions were asked and answers were given. After the long conversation we had, it’s time for some more action. So we headed to the carrot farm again to harvest the one that is ready. It is everybody’s first time so we got a lot of fun with it. As much as we have fun, we learn a lot from this trip. One takeaway that I got is to experience new technique of farming using only organic by all of those hands-on activities we’ve done on the farm. At the end of the trip, we gather about 55% of the information needed for our articles which pumped us all up to do some more writing.
