The Denton FFA Alumni Association supports AG Mechanic Projects across the DISD FFA chapters.  The Alumni will provide project resources and funding for selected team projects.

The 2008 AG MECHANICS TEAM PROJECT is a 1952 John Deere G Tractor Restoration beginning the Fall of 2008.  The tractor restoration will be entered into AG Mechanic Shows included in the State Stock Show circuit and the Chevron Delo Tractor Restoration Competition.  CLICK HERE for Tractor Restoration Team Participation

The Denton FFA is also currently restoring a 1924 Elgin Wonder B Windmill to be erected along side the TJ Jones AG Barn when complete.  This was a generous donation by Chuck Rickgauer of Tolar, TX.  He and his wife operate the Bed & Breakfast know as the Windmill Farm.  Visit his website and see his collection of windmills.

Agriculture Mechanics Projects are unique for getting students involved in agriculture who otherwise might not be connected with ranching or farming, 

AG Mechanic Projects must be built within one calendar year and completed in time for the State Stock Show Circuit.  An AG Mechanics Project allows students to design and build a project on their own, or as a team project.

There are ( 6 ) Six Divisions in state AG Mechanics shows:

• Trailers

• Agriculture machinery and equipment

• Pickup and truck accessories

• Livestock and wildlife equipment

• Home convenience

• Tractor restoration  ( Old tractors must date back to 1975 or earlier )

The National FFA Agricultural Mechanics Career Development is designed to recognize those students who have developed the competencies necessary for success in the constantly changing workplace.
