Today, during class the Machinery Committee, consisting of a six member team prepared the 450 farm for the spring corn planting. They used this time to do their Experiential Teaching, which is a required assignment for each committee. Dave Henderson from Van Wall Implement came and talked about the importance of changing the sweeps regularly. Their goals today were to change sweeps on the cultivator and to prepare the planter for the field by changing seed plates. The class was split into two groups and we tackled the task of changing the sweeps. Randy explains how to change the sweeps. Everybody had a chance to change a sweep with the help of the Machinery Committee.
