It’s a greasy job, but somebody’s got to do it. In fact, there is a group of about 40 enthusiastic individuals who are excited about helping kids who work with malfunctioning tractors and mechanical agricultural equipment — the Show’s Agricultural Mechanics Committee. This group is responsible for the entire coordination, setup, judging and operation of the Ag Mechanics Project Show and the State FFA Tractor Mechanics Contest.
Piles of trash to piles of cash. That’s the way it is now, but that was not the case before 1992. Prior to that time, discussions lingered regarding the high costs the Show was incurring for waste removal. So after several months of research, the Show embarked on a plan to recycle items which were previously discarded as only trash.
