Agriculture Structures II builds upon the foundational knowledge and skills developed in Agriculture Structures I, offering students advanced, hands-on experience in the construction, maintenance, and improvement of agricultural facilities and systems. This course is designed for students who wish to deepen their technical abilities and explore more complex structural projects.
Students will work with advanced methods of electrical wiring, electrical motors, concrete and masonry, plumbing and sewage disposal, farm fencing systems, product handling and processing equipment, and farm building design and construction. Instruction may also include advanced metal and wood construction skills essential for constructing durable and functional agricultural structures.
Through extensive lab work and project-based learning, students will refine their tool proficiency, safety practices, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of agricultural engineering principles. Students may complete individualized or group construction projects that mirror real-world agricultural needs.
All students enrolled in Agriculture Structures II are required to be active members of the Neosho FFA Chapter, where they will have additional opportunities to apply their skills through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs), Career Development Events (CDEs), and leadership activities.
This course is ideal for students pursuing careers in agricultural engineering, construction trades, maintenance technology, or any field requiring strong mechanical and structural skills.
Prerequisites for this course include the successful completion of Agricultural Power and Technology, Principles of Animal Science, Principles of Plant Science, or SAE Project. Students are responsible for the cost of materials for any project(s) they choose to build.
