North Korea is often ridiculed for being something of a backward nation (its worrying nuclear ambitions aside, of course).
But when it comes to farming, they deserve some credit for trying to adopt 'new' technologies - at least in their terms.
As this picture shows, some schools are teaching their farmers-to-be all the tricks of the trade on their finest tractor simulators.

Complete with 15-inch computer monitor (ok, so it's not a flatscreen) and full QWERTY keyboard, it gives the student a state-of-the-art way to hone his or her ploughing prowess - and there's no risk of costly accidents.
This pupil was learning to work the virtual fields earlier this month at the Samjiyon Schoolchildren's Palace.
The facility was built for children to take part in after-school programs in the arts, sciences, sports, computer and vocational training.
