Mechanical Technology in Agriculture

Mechanical Technology in Agriculture emphasizes important areas of agricultural technology including electricity and electronics, internal combustion engines, hydraulics, and construction and maintenance. In addition, emphasis is placed on the development, role, and scope of mechanical technology in agriculture. Mechanical Technology in Agriculture places equal emphasis on the practical applications and theoretical understandings necessary for both occupational success and advanced education in the field of agricultural technology. A major goal of the book is to show the relationship between science, mathematics, and mechanical technology. A second major goal is to apply mathematics, science, and mechanical technology in the solution of agricultural problems. This book is intended for use by advanced secondary school agricultural education students, community college students, lower division university students, and their teachers. In addition, this book should be of benefit to farmers, agribusiness persons, and others interested in learning about mechanical technology in agriculture.
