Farmers invited to help shape MCLM’s mechanisation plans
Farmers, agri-preneurs and agricultural experts are invited to a public engagement session in Hekpoort on August 21 to provide input on MCLM’s draft mechanisation support policy.
Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) will be hosting a mechanisation support policy engagement session later this week.
MCLM communications officer Refilwe Mahlangu explained that mechanisation is a game-changer which boosts productivity, cuts down labour time and makes farming smarter.
She added that without a clear policy to guide support programmes, challenges keep cropping up.
“MCLM is developing this policy and needs voices from the ground, particularly farmers, agri-preneurs and experts. Join us for a crucial engagement session to refine the draft policy,” she said.
This session will take place from 10:00 on August 21 in the Hekpoort Hall.
If residents want to read the draft policy, they can find it on MCLM’s website.
“Together we are shaping a better future for farming in our city,” Mahlangu concluded.
