advice from Muriel Lacroix-Pringarbe

The point of view of Muriel Lacroix-Pringarbe, committed entrepreneur

Dear Gaëlle, you fear that your grandson will fail this prestigious competition. A good way to combat your apprehension would be to find out more about the trials that await you. Unlike the Capes, which marked his grandfather, this competition relies a lot on practice. Preparing it requires hours of training in a training center or with an employer, under the responsibility of a professional.

Lucas will therefore not be alone. He will need to master the theoretical bases and the different types of agricultural machines, tractors, harvesters, seeders, sprayers; their maintenance; maintenance; and above all learn safety standards and regulations. An important part concerns fault detection, repairs and Lucas must be very familiar with recent technologies, precision agriculture, ecological engines, GPS systems.

Let your grandson control his stress, take care of his verbal flow (let’s talk about it), and you could well see his success praised in the newspapers. Whatever the outcome of the competition, participating in it constitutes in itself a step in one’s learning. Good luck to him!
