Description: |

Constructing Concrete projects is an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their skills learned in the agricultural mechanics classes. Students would construct concrete projects such as a Mailbox Post, Fence post, Stepping Stones, Benches and Picnic Tables to name a few. These projects could be constructed after school in the agriculture laboratory or in a shop at home. The potential market for these projects constructed will be excellent.
