A. DiTommaso, R. Schindelbeck.
Overview of agricultural machinery used in the production of field crops. Information is presented in a lecture and field laboratory format stressing “hands-on” equipment demonstrations and use, particularly of tractors. Tractor safety is emphasized during the initial three weeks of tractor instruction where the students practice learning to competently drive a tractor. Successful completion provides a broad understanding of agricultural machinery operation and design rationale.
Outcome 1: Successful completion provides a broad understanding of agricultural machinery operation and design rationale.
Outcome 2: As we travel to Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station Farms we will learn the strategic applications of available machinery to the tasks at hand. We also will learn of the current trends in agricultural machinery technology as demonstrated by our host agricultural professionals.
