An Idea

Horticulture Department
(Grant Jackson)

The Horticulture department decided for a class project in the business aspect as well as a department fund raiser to come up with there own line of wheel hoe's   The Department has decided to name it the Moe Hoe wheel hoe.  The department contacted to other departments (metal tech, and wood tech), to come up with a plan for a little help as well as some department funds.  After a few negotiations all departments decided to come together in an order to produce 50 wheel hoes.  The metal tech department was in charge of fabrication of all metal aspects for the wheel hoe.  They also decided to take on the responsibility of powder coating of all pieces which became a new part of the department.  The powder coating of the metal pieces was the departments first trial run.  With all the long hours put into the metal pieces in order to finish by the end of the semester I must say everything turned out spectacular.  The next process will be the fabrication of the wood handles which will be done by the wood tech department.  I am looking forward to watching this operation after visiting the department during class and learning how the CNC router machine works.
