PICNUS Oy is a farm company operating in Jalasjärvi, Kurikan, which has cooperated with the ELMA unit with an innovative attitude. The farm has been a farm training farm since 1995. Saara and Kyösti Marttila have studied for a degree in agriculture in Ilmajoki, so the educational institution has been familiar to them since their studies and the co-operation has continued meritoriously as an internship. The farm has a large forest and field area. In addition to animal feed, oilseeds are also grown in the fields. The robotic yard has 130 dairy cows with a very high average yield, as well as heifers and calves. In addition, the farm has 1,000 muscle pig places. Finns and students from different countries of the world have been able to get acquainted with the various functions of a Finnish farm in a variety of ways, as well as monitor and at the same time learn how a large farm and its employees are managed. SeAMK Elintarvike ja maatalous, Ilmajoki palkitsee vuodesta 2016 lähtien vuosittain ansioituneen harjoittelutilan. Harjoittelutila on toiminut esimerkillisesti opiskelijoiden maatilaharjoittelupaikkana ja edistänyt opiskelijoiden tuntemusta maatilayrityksen toimintaan, niin käytännön kuin kirjallisten töiden osalta. Maatilan kanssa on yhteistyö toiminut moitteettomasti ja harjoittelijat ovat kokeneet harjoittelunsa maatilalla erittäin hyödylliseksi saamansa käytännön kokemusten, tulevan opiskelun ja työelämän kannalta. KV-toiminta on kiinnostanut harjoittelutilaa ja maatila on vuosittain ottanut ulkomaalaisia harjoittelijoita kotimaisten harjoittelijoiden seuraksi tilalleen opiskelemaan suomalaisen maatilan toimintaa käytännössä.
