This farm practice program was undertaken. at Don. Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite to determine the feasibility of adopting the Sloping Agri-cultural Land Technology (SALT) under the Cavite upland condition, an.d also as a farm demonstration project of the Agricultural Education Outreach Project (AEOP) for the upland farmers in the nearby towns. This project also aimed to help the AEOP Student Outreach Agent (SOA) to put into actual practite the technology on the preparation and proper management of Sloping Agricultural land Technology (SALT), gathered in his training at the Mindanao Baptist Rural Life Center, Kinuskusan, Bansalan, Davao del Sur, dated April 11 - 17, 1983 sponsored by AEOP. The land chosen for the project had a total area of 15,00,9 square meters ranging to almost 40% degree slope. The assigned SOA worked primarily on the preparation of Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT) and made few management practices on the said project. This farm practice was primarily done to maintain the Sloping Agricultural Land Technology project in Don Severino Agricultural College from April 1983 to Larch 1987. Since the project is on the first two years of operation, only data generation was obtained. A total of 7,335.03 was given to the project as its material and operational cost (see Table VI). The project had a gross income of 42,540.00 which was taken from banana, papaya and vegetables. No net income had been obtained on the permanent and non-permanent crops like coffee, cacao and pineapple due to the fact that they were still in the early stage of production. However, short seasoned crops could cover up its cash deficits and the perennial crops may do the same if they are on it’s a maximum production performance.
