DIVERSIFICATION IN AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

摘要

Two examples of diversification are presented in this article, namely: a farmer/horticulturist diversifying into agricultural engineering; and a 100 year old smithy diversifying or evolving into the leisure industry. David Shelton studied horticulture at the School of Agriculture, Sutton Bonington, and was fortunate to be taught by an outstanding team of relatively young staff. In due course, many of them moved on to some of the most senior posts in the industry. Undoubtedly, this experience has had a big influence on what was to follow in his career.
