The third scheduled field trip of the year for PLSC167 "Understanding Delaware Agriculture" was a visit to a large agricultural farm equipment company, Hoober, Inc. Students learned about equipment sales, retail sales, equipment repair, customer service and precision ag as they relate to careers in the agriculture sector. Students drove a road track tractor guided by GPS to see first hand how the new technology worked. Special thanks to Brian Lam and Tad Adams (UDCANR 14) for their time in showing students and explaining their role with precision ag at Hoober. Inc.
