Farm Structures

This topic advances learners' practical skills in agricultural engineering. Students will learn to select suitable sites for farm buildings based on factors like security, drainage, and accessibility. They will prepare basic layout plans and engage in constructing simple farm structures using local materials. The unit also covers the operation and maintenance of animal-drawn and tractor-drawn implements like ploughs, planters, and harrows. This hands-on, competence-based topic is crucial for School-Based Assessment projects and practical ECZ examinations. It builds foundational skills for farm management and mechanisation, important for Zambia's agricultural development.
