The development of Model Training Farm is deeply rooted in Mwalimu JK Nyerere’s speech that he gave on 26th September 1984, during inauguration of SUA, he said and we quote
“Thus, the main objective of this University is not abstract research, or the training of academics who can write learned treatises’.

But they are not what the University will be judged by during the next twenty years or more.”
We are now seeing results of grape varieties trial at the model farm, Have a look!
