We’ve just about finished up our first round of Ag-Mechanics and we’re getting ready to start round 2! Again, these are small classes, so you’ll want to sign up fast because they fill up fast! The topics happening in the beginning of 2024 are Welding Using Metal Inert Gas Methods, Small Engine Maintenance & Repairs: 2-Stroke AND 4-Stroke.
PLEASE NOTE! We are trying out a new format based on feedback and trying to make these trainings more accessible, and both the Small Engine Maintenance Classes are taking place over 2 Thursday Evenings (see below), so plan accordingly!
