Hello Jose Efren! 

We are very glad to know about your interest in Agriculture.

For your questions:

1. when will you offer a course on cattle raising? 
As of now, Cattle Raising is not yet in the list of new courses. However, we will take note of your interest and hopefully we could include this Subject in the next line up of courses.

2.when will the course mechanization2 be available?
Our courseware developers are already working out on the succeeding courses of each category.

3.do you have printable versions on your courses? for review purposes because there is no internet on our farm.
No. We don't have a printable version of the course because of its interactive feature (such as videos and links that needs to be opened).And because of this interactive feature you should take note of important infos being discussed in each course. You may, however, download the techno-kit version of the course. You can view this at the "Technokits" tab. Pls note that NOT all courses have technokit versions.

4.does the government offer assistance in mechanization for small farmers like me those who do not have the 200 hectare requirement by the LBP?

5.where can i get the plans for the flatbed dryer and other farm structures?

Yes. There is a program about Farm Mechanization that can be granted to small farmers. This is spearheaded by the Philippine Center for Postharvest, Development and Mechanization (PhilMech). PhilMech also  holds technologies on Flatbed dryers, farm machineries and structures. You may visit the nearest DA office in your area for further information. 

We hope that we provided you some knowledge on your concern. Thank you and have a great day e-Learning!
