It was the third consecutive year the agricultural systems technology management program conducted the workshop. Johnson and Lincoln Electric were excellent and right on point,” Rice said. Lincoln Electric Welding supplied equipment and staff to lead the sessions. Twenty-six teachers took part in the second day workshop, which focused on advanced methods of tungsten-inert gas (TiG) welding and related metallurgical principles. Johnson guided the educators in designing basic hydraulic systems using schematic symbols, and plumbing the systems on hydraulic training stations. Twenty-eight instructors from 11 counties participated the first day, which included basic instruction in hydraulic systems. This is more like a service we provide, but this is also our audience because they are generating kids coming into our program.” “We want to address the agricultural systems technology area, and enhance the skills and advance opportunities for secondary students. “Our incentive is to reach kids, and the best way to do that is through the leader of the pack,” Rice said. The workshop was June 28-29 at the AECT Abernathy Agriscience and Technology Center.

Lanny Rice, an ASTM instructor in the Department of Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology, coordinated the two-day training event with assistance from professor Don Johnson. I currently live in my home town of Siloam Springs,Ark., with my wife, Serena. I graduated in May 2007 with a major in agricultural edu-cation and a minor in agricultural systems, technology, and man-agement.
