Missouri FFA Agricultural Mechanics Career Development Event
Event
Superintendent - Leon Schumacher
Introduction
The Department of Agricultural Systems Management hosts the State of
Missouri FFA Agricultural Mechanics Career Development Event during the State
FFA Convention in April each year. The topics that will be tested vary depending whether it is an odd
or an even year. This year (2012) is an "even"
year rotation. Examples of skill areas that students will be tested over for
2012 were developed and tested at the State competition in 2010.
Please clink on the links below to review the activity sheets that were
used in this event since 1996. (Please Note: You may want to refer to the
examples that are designated "98, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 & 2010", as
these are "even" years, and would be more representative of what will
be tested in 2012.)

Each contestant will be expected to complete a
skill/problem solving activity in each area and complete a multiple choice
written examination.
A
7:00 am organizational meeting will be held at the Animal Science Research
Center, room S147 A&B
The
contestants will subsequently be moved to the Agricultural Engineering Building
for the remainder of the event. Advisors should plan to pick up their
contestants at the Agricultural Engineering Building shortly before 12:00 noon.
The farm machinery that will be used are listed below.
The equipment for year 2013 is:
The skill activity this year is generic due to the fact that we were unable to pin down exact models until a very late date before the event. Since the date is so late, the
questions asked will not be so machine specific that it will put any one given student at a disadvantage in this area of the event. The equipment for this year will include:
A. Bale Wrapper
B. Gooseneck Dovetail Trailer
Manuals will be provided so that students will be able to address specific questions and concerns raised by the judges.
We apologize for not being able to pin this down any sooner, but please understand that farm equipment is selling at a pace that the dealers are not willing to jeopardize a future sale.
Contestants should come prepared to work during each skill/problem solving activity. Cotton clothing, long sleeve shirts, long pants, leather shoes, and industrial quality eye protection must be worn during all skill activities. Clothing cannot wear frayed clothing when welding. Students will not be allowed to use any welding equipment without these items. Contestants cannot carry a cellular phone, pager or pda. Students are also encouraged to bring along two #2 lead pencils, a clipboard, and strongly encouraged to bring a calculator.
The top three schools from last years event (2011) were:
1. Rockbridge High School - Columbia
2. Bowling Green
3. Palmyra
