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.
