Agribusiness: Decisions & Dollars, second edition, provides students the important need to know information necessary to make effective decisions, and to value financial progress and success regardless of agricultural enterprise size. As the first agricultural education high school level text based on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) students will learn the most basic life skills such as the mechanics of writing a check to better understanding complex enterprise analysis. The text gives foremost attention to dollar and sense management, but also helps students hone skills necessary for solving problems and evaluating the management of resources. Agribusiness: Decisions & Dollars presents students with relatable scenarios by following two high school students interested in agribusiness, as they learn the complexities of the financial world, and why records are important. This informal, approachable writing style is used to engage and help students gain a clear understanding of the importance of basing decisions on financial records.
Agribusiness: Fundamentals and Applications, second edition, discusses the broad spectrum of the agribusiness world. Several chapters focus on the agricultural input sector, which are the supplies and services needed by ranchers, farmers, and/or other production agriculturists. Some examples include the feed, seed, fertilizer, chemical, and farm machinery agribusinesses. Once basic production economics and farm management are discussed, several more chapters cover the agribusiness output sectors that include agribusinesses, which move food and fiber from the farms and ranches to the consumer.
KEY FEATURES

Inclusive coverage of the agriculture industry includes agribusinesses that supply inputs to the farmer, rancher and other production agriculturists. Career descriptions in each chapter illustrate the agribusiness job opportunities. Includes information on financing the agribusiness to explain the factors when considering a loan such as returns, repayment and risk.

Agricultural Mechanics
Ray V. Herren

Agricultural Mechanics: Fundamentals & Applications, sixth edition, is designed for high school students learning agricultural mechanics. The text aims to connect the theory behind mechanics with practical application. Topics covered are those common to most programs and include metal and career selection; wood and metal working; tool identification; project planning; cutting and welding; paints and paint application; power mechanics; electrical wiring; plumbing; hydraulics; concrete and masonry; and agricultural structures. Safety rules and precautions are prominent in every section of the units as well as an entire unit on personal safety. To engage the reader, the text is illustrated with up-to-date images that support text material. In addition, 36 charts and data tables are included to provide information for project planning and measurement conversions.
KEY FEATURES
