“He told me the best thing to do would be to donate them a handler.
“I said get me a contact and I’ll get it started.”
The equipment addresses one of the biggest challenges in agricultural spraying – safely loading, mixing, and transferring crop protection products to the sprayer in as little time as possible, while minimising contact with the product.
The Handler III will provide an invaluable resource for Longerenong College students to learn with and will be used across agronomy and chemical training throughout both full-time and short course deliveries at the college.
Skillinvest and Longerenong College chief executive Darren Webster said the college was grateful for Burando Hill’s significant contribution and opening learning opportunities for their students.
“Burando Hill’s generous donation of the Handler III, a piece of world-class, industry-standard equipment, not only enriches our resources but also ensures our students’ learning experience is both safe and efficient,” he said.
“This contribution will undeniably enhance our students’ practical skills and knowledge.”
Burando Hill owner Simon Hill said he was pleased to provide Longerenong College students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience using the Handler III. “Education needs to keep up with the evolution of farming and safety and efficiency plays a huge part,” he said.
“It’s important to keep students at the forefront, as they are the ones paving the way for the future.”
