The idea behind this hierarchy is that the control methods at the top of the graphic are potentially more effective and protective than those at the bottom. Following this hierarchy normally leads to the implementation of inherently safer systems, where the risk of illness or injury has been substantially reduced.
Students make the connection between the geography/climate and success of agriculture in Wyoming.
Students will learn about key points in Iowa’s agricultural history, while gaining writing and sequencing skills.
Students will understand that Wyoming is unique because we have space available for our livestock.
In this interactive, learners develop the skills to handle a horse safely before entering the corral for the first time. The interactive consists of three stages, each explaining an aspect of the safety procedures necessary for leading a horse.
Solving food shortages caused by droughts is a big challenge that may benefit from a tiny ally. Turns out that the microbes living in the soil around plants can give them a boost when water's scarce, which means more food for us, which is a big win!
This video demonstrates how cauliflower is harvested. This video was taken in Watsonville, California, and follows the harvesting, washing, and packing of cauliflower in the field. This video was used to demonstrate specialty farming and equipment needs.
This video explains how a zerk grease fitting works and what to do if one begins to leak.
Calvin Knotts, precision farming specialist at Redline Equipment, turned his agronomy degree from Purdue University into a career in precision farming. He ta...
This video outlines some examples of agricultural technology that is changing farming production.
How to use crimp connectors.
In this video, we will talk about the technique called real-time kinematic, or RTK. RTK is used to enhance the positioning accuracy of the GNSS. With an RTK-...
In agriculture, it is important to have healthy soils. Learn how the laboratory at Dairy One analyzes soils and why the information they gather is vital to growers.
As climate chaos increases around the world, Michelle Week, a farmer outside of Portland Oregon is drawing on her Sinixt indigenous knowledge to adapt her farm to the changing seasons. By practicing techniques like seed saving and dry farming, Michelle is combating the increasing food security crisis while continuing to provide fresh food to her local community.
Women of the Earth is a new show on PBS Terra, produced by Summer Moon Productions, featuring stories of women across America who are leading a new movement to restore and protect the land. By focusing on women in land stewardship roles like farmers and shepherds, the series will explore women’s unique relationship to the earth and their innovative undertakings to heal the earth from climate change.
"The modern combine harvester, or simply combine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations—reaping, threshing, and winnowing—into a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers, and canola. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and plowed back in or baled for bedding and limited feed for livestock.
Combine harvesters are one of the most economically important labour-saving inventions, significantly reducing the fraction of the population engaged in agriculture."
3D Video describing how differentials work.

Ever wondered how a fluid coupling works?
A pneumatic system is a collection of interconnected components using compressed air to do work for automated equipment. Examples can be found in industrial manufacturing, a home garage or a dentist office. This work is produced in the form of linear or rotary motion. The compressed air or pressurized gas is usually filtered and dried to protect the cylinders, actuators, tools and bladders performing the work. Some applications require a lubrication device that adds an oil mist to the closed pressurized system.
In this video, you will learn about the typical overall system components and how they are used together.
This is a very detailed explanation on how the gears of this automatic transmission converts the rotation of the input to those 6 speeds and reverse, using 3D animation.
