SAC GOES DOWN THE HIGH TECH ROUTE
Farmers, crofters and vets in Argyll and the Islands recently participated in the largest videoconference link-up, yet undertaken by SAC to see and hear SAC Vets talk on liver fluke in livestock. The videoconference linked together 12 centres enabling people at each centre to participate fully in the proceedings, to ask questions and to hear the answers. Organised by SAC’s Farm Business Services Office in Oban, the use of videoconferencing provided a very practical way of dispersing information and communicating knowledge to this wide geographical area, in a short time scale and at realistic costs.
