TAKING A BREAK: George the Farmer creators Ben Hood and Simone Kain take a break from filming with George. CHILDREN’S farming icon George the Farmer has traded his tractor for a harvester in an effort to teach Australia’s next generation about the importance of plantation forestry. The children’s character is joined by key Green Triangle industry leaders in a new six-minute video, illustrating everything from tree planting and harvesting to the milling process. The forestry video, which will air on the ABC, has been produced as part of the federally-funded Educating Kids About Agriculture project, a collaboration with Primary Producers SA and the Australian Forest Products Association.
