Retro Organics: Robin Greer, Gore, New Zealand.
===Today (2.6.11) in the morning we looked at a Rural Delivery program that showed a dairy farmer by the name of Robin Greer in Gore, New Zealand talked about his dairy farm. He makes milk, cheese and yogurt but he mainly makes cheese and lots of different types of it like cheddar, blue cheese and lots more. He even has his own website where he can sell cheese online. He has lots of cows which eat special grass which includes herbs and other stuff which other people would call it weeds but he prefers special grass which makes them produce more milk. He started doing and Organic Farm when his father died of cancer that was from the cheese that the cows made from their milk and they needed grass to make more milk and that grass had chemicals in it which mad it bad. So he started up a Organic Farm that was more healthy and chemical free that made better cheese. Our teacher has asked us to answer these questions and here they are:===

What I saw interesting?
===I found this mans organic farm interesting because he makes about 100-200 kilo's of cheese a day ... that's a lot. Also his cheddar cheese that he makes, has to sit there on a shelf for two years to age it which makes all crumbly and yummy.===

What we could do better about this Skype session?
===I don't know what we could do better for this Skype session only that one of the students asked how much money he got a year ... that was a bad question because that's a bit rude and it's personal to Robin.===

===Overall I found this Skype session very cool and interesting and it was very kind of Robin Greer to spare some time to talk to us about his Organic Farm and we have to remember that he is very busy man. We could also be a bit more organised.===

Skype Interview with a class in North Carolina in America:
===On the 28th of October 2011, our class had a Skype interview with our fellow class over in North Carolina, America. Our class and theirs have been working on a wiki-space so that we can learn about each others living and different aspects of our countries. Here is the wiki-space that we have been working on:===

===We had a skype conversation with them about the questions that are on the wikispace. We had a lot of fun asking questions and meeting the class. But they were a bit loud and hypo so it made it a bit hard to understand what they were saying but otherwise it was really cool.===
