20. New Career and Tech Program at Washington County Technical High School!!!!!!

21. Environmental Horticulture and Landscape Design

23. Our Entrepreneurship classes have a school website!!!!Check it out at ……. www.scoresup.com/technicalhighschool

25. Environmental Horticulture and Landscape Design In this program, students will learn about environmental management, hydroponics, and organic planting while operating a practical ‘hands-on’ fully functioning greenhouse! Students will plan, produce, sell, and distribute plant products. Students will also manage and control materials purchasing and land preparation, including landscape design. Students will have the opportunity to conduct research for new markets and products. Qualified students will earn the privilege of completing internships and co-operative work experience with local business partners. Students will have the opportunity to test for the Certified Professional Horticulturalist national certificate.

28. Agriculture • Agricultureaddresses the basic human needs for food and clothing. • Agricultural technology has made modern farming more efficient. • Modern machines and equipment allow for greater production.

29. Types of Agriculture • Crop production provides food for humans and feed for animals. • Grows trees for lumber and paper production. • Provides material for industrial processes. • Produces basic ingredients for medicines. • Animal husbandrybreeds, raises, and trains animals for food, fiber, and work.

30. Crop Production • Grains include wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, rye, and sorghum. • Vegetablesinclude root crops (carrots, potatoes), leaf crops (lettuce, spinach), and seeds (peas, beans, tomatoes). • Fruitsand berries are cultivated for their edible parts. They are grown in temperate or warmer climates.

31. Crop Production • Different nutsare grown in selected parts of the country. Peanuts and coconuts are significant sources of food and oil. • Forage crops,like hay, alfalfa, and clover, are grown for animal feed. • Nonfood cropsinclude tobacco, cotton, and rubber.

32. Farming Equipment • Power or pulling equipment. • Tillage equipment. • Planting equipment. • Pest-control equipment. • Irrigation equipment. • Harvesting equipment. • Transportation equipment. • Storage equipment.

33. Farm Tractors • Farm tractors can be either wheel tractors or track machines. • Track-type tractors are generally slower than wheel tractors and are suited for muddy fields. • Implements can be attached to or pulled behind the tractor.

34. Wheel and Track Tractors (Case IH.) (Deere and Co.)

35. The Plow and Tilling • The plowis the most important piece of tillageequipment. • Breaks, raises, and turns the soil to loosen the ground and bring new soil up. • Moldboard plow: Made up of several plowshares. • Discs plows: Have discs mounted on an axle. • Chisel plows: Do not lift and turn the soil.

36. Discussion What gardening activities are considered tillage?

37. Fertilizing and Planting • Planting involves applying fertilizerand planting the crop. • Fertilizer is applied before, during, or after seeds are planted. • Fertilizer is applied with special equipment or along with a seed planter. • The grain drillis the most widely used seed planter.

38. Pest and Weed Control • To prevent crop death, farmers use chemical and nonchemical pest control measures. • Herbicides control weeds, while pesticides control diseases and insects. • A cultivatoris a nonchemical pest control that removes weeds and loosens the soil.

39. Irrigation Systems To maintain plant growth, irrigationsystems must have: • A constant and dependable source of water. • A series of canals and ditches to move the water to various crops. • A way to control the flow of the water in ditches and canals.

40. Irrigation Sources • Lakes, rivers, underground aquifers. • Dams form a reservoir or divert water for irrigation. • A well and pump can obtain underground water.

41. Irrigation Methods • Flood irrigationis used when the land is level. • Furrow irrigationis used in row crops. Pipes control the flow and allocate water to various sections of the field. • Sprinkler irrigationis used on uneven ground or when the amount of water must be controlled.

42. Sprinkler Systems • Pumps force water from the source into main distribution lines. • Pressurized water flows through the main lines to a series of lateral pipes. • The water enters sprinkler heads, which are attached to standpipes, and spray water onto the land. • Valves shut off or control the water flow.

43. Sprinkler Irrigation System

44. Types of Sprinkler Systems • Straight sprinkler lines irrigate strips of land one at a time. • Solid-set sprinkler systems cover and irrigate the entire field at once. They provide frost protection to crops. • A pivot sprinkleris powered by electric motors and constantly moves in a circle.

45. Drip Irrigation • Drip irrigation systems are used in many orchards and vineyards. • Ensures that each plant is properly watered. • Reduces the amount of water lost to evaporation.

46. The Grain Combine The most widely used harvesting equipment is the grain combine.

47. Specialized Harvesting Machines • Onion harvester • Potato harvester • Peanut harvester • Green bean harvester • Sweet pea harvester • Tomato harvester • Cotton harvester • Tea harvester

48. Harvesting Hay • The crop is cut and laid on the ground to dry. • Once the hay is dried, a rake gathers the hay into windrows. • In large-scale operations, a swathercuts and windrows the hay in one pass over the field. • A balerthen gathers, compacts, and contains the hay.

49. Transportation Equipment • Harvested crops move from a storage facility on the farm to processing plants or commercial storage sites. • Wagons and medium-duty trucks move crops short distances. • Semi trucks, railcars, barges, and ships move crops longer distances.

50. Grain ElevatorsWebsite • Grain crops are stored in silos. • A bucket elevator lifts the grain from a grain pit upward. • Grain is then dumped in a shoot or pipe that leads to the top of the silo.
