Mikä oli haaste/ongelma, johon puututtiin?

Active farmers discussion groups facilitated by ProAgria advisors have gathered together since 2004 in Finland to share new information, to analyze the current situation and results and enable better practices as quickly as possible to get even better results. There has been a significant increase in good outcomes particularly in Western Finland, where for example the average silage yield of a whole example group has increased 90% in six years period. The most active discussion groups achieve the best results and in long term group system they keep their enthusiasm and positive attitude from year to year and understand the need of finding new ideas outside the group too. Cinstant co-operation with other European countries top farmers and advisors, even working together in farm level or in other countries discussion groups, opens the eyes for both: the group members and the facilitators -and makes it possible to constantly develop and renew the discussion group system. The discussion groups of Western Finland make different type of study trips abroad half-yearly.
