			Author(s): Leonard Koel, Glen A. Mazur, B. J. Moniz, and R. 
			Bruce Radcliff, with contributions by Craig H. Morton, Edward A. 
			Franklin, Jason A. Scales, and Ryan G. Anderson 
			
			Agricultural 
			Technical Systems and Mechanics addresses the primary knowledge and 
			skills required for success in the Power, Structural and Technical 
			Systems (PST) career pathway as identified in the National 
			Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) Career Cluster 
			Standards.
			Technical knowledge and problem-solving skills 
			enable individuals to participate in the National FFA Agricultural 
			Technology and Mechanical Systems Career Development Event (CDE). 
			This well-illustrated textbook presents the 
			proper use of tools and equipment, the construction and maintenance 
			of agricultural structures, the principles behind GPS/GIS and 
			sustainable energy systems, welding fundamentals, and the operation 
			of power and technical systems.
