Sixty Primary 3 pupils from Tulloch Primary School, in Perth, recently enjoyed a visit from Daisy – a fibre glass dairy cow – and a brand new, John Deere Tractor thanks to The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) as part of its ongoing mission to give every school pupil in the region the opportunity to learn about food, farming, and the countryside.

The pupils experienced milking a cow, learnt about the dairy industry and the products it produces, and made their own butter. Pupils then got to view and learn about some of the exciting technology used in tractors today.

John Deere territory manager for Netherton Tractors, Ian Clark, said: “I think educating the next generation about the agricultural industry is the job of everyone involved in the sector and it was great to see the delight on the pupils faces when they got to sit in the tractor today. Hopefully, it inspires some of them to be involved in our industry in the future.”
