Air Compressor - correct answer a device that converts power into potential energy
stored in pressurized air
Anemometer - correct answer a device used for measuring the speed of wind
Backpack Sprayer - correct answer equipped with a liquid- holding tank , pump, and
pumping lever, pressure holding chamber and hose with wand
Round Baler - correct answer Used to compress a cut and raked crop into round bales
Square Baler - correct answer Used to compress a cut and raked crop into square bales
( used on such crops as hay, cotton, flax, straw, etc..)
Bed Shaper - correct answer
Center Pivot - correct answer A method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates
around a pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers
Combine - correct answer a machine used to harvest grains, such as wheat, rye, barley,
oats, corn, and flax
Conveyor, Elevator - correct answer carries agricultural materials
Cotton Picker - correct answer a machine that automates cotton harvesting in a way
that reduces harvest time
Crop Planter - correct answer a farm implement, usually towed behind a tractor, that
sows seeds in rows throughout a field
Fertilizer Broadcaster - correct answer a farm implement commonly used for spreading
Field Shovel - correct answer used to make a farming plot
Forage Harvester - correct answer a farm implement that harvests plants to make silage
Grain Auger - correct answer agricultural screw elevator with a long metal tube raises
and transports grain
Grain Moisture Meter - correct answer used to measure the percentage of water in a
given substance. This information can be used to determine if the material is ready for
use, unexpectedly wet or dry, or otherwise in need of further inspection. Wood and
paper products are very sensitive to their moisture content
,Grain Storage Bin - correct answer used to storage harvested grain
Gravity Wagon - correct answer an angled hopper style wagon that utilizes gravity to
make the unloading process easier
Hay Rake - correct answer agricultural rake used to collect cuts of hay or straw into
windrows for later
Hearing Protection - correct answer protects people's ears from loud noises
Hitch Pin - correct answer a fastener mage from springy material
Hoe - correct answer has a narrow razor-sharp blade which is used to slice the roots of
weeds by skimming it just under the surface of the soil with a sweeping motion
Liquid Manure Spreader - correct answer an agricultural machine used to distribute
manure over a field as fertilizer
Dry Manure Spreader - correct answer an agricultural machine used to distribute
manure over a field as fertilizer
Module Builder - correct answer is a machine used in the harvest and processing of
cotton. The module builder has helped to solve a logistical bottleneck by allowing cotton
to be harvested quickly and compressed into large modules which are then covered and
temporarily stored at the edge of the field
Mold board Plow - correct answer a farm tool having one or more heavy blades to break
the soil and cut a furrow prior to sowing
Pea Harvester - correct answer used to harvest crops of peas
Peanut Digger - correct answer A harvesting-plow for raising from the ground peanut-
vines with the pods attached
Plow - correct answer a large farming implement with one or more blades fixed in a
frame, drawn by a tractor or by animals and used for cutting furrows in the soil and
turning it over, especially to prepare for the planting of seeds
Potato Harvester - correct answer machines that harvest potatoes. They work by lifting
the potatoes from the bed using a share. Soil and crop are transferred onto a series of
webs where the loose soil is sieved out
PPE - correct answer refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments
or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection
, Press Wheel - correct answer a wheel attachment on an agricultural press drill for
compacting the soil in the seeded furrows
Pressure Gauge - correct answer an instrument indicating pressure
PTO Shaft - correct answer is an efficient means of transferring mechanical power
between farm tractors and implements. This power transfer system helped revolutionize
North American agriculture during the 1930s. It is also one of the oldest and most
persistent hazards associated with farm machinery
Rotary Hoe - correct answer an implement consisting essentially of a series of rotating
hoe wheels each having many sharp curved steel prongs
Soil Probe - correct answer a mechanical instrument which enables the operator to
determine the condition of the sub-soil without core samples. A ratchet-handle torque
wrench which slides up and down on the shaft is used to install or retract the probe
Sprayer - correct answer A sprayer is a device used to spray a liquid. In agriculture, a
sprayer is a piece of equipment that is used to apply herbicides, pesticides, and
fertilizers on agricultural crops
Sweep Net - correct answer a bag-shaped net with a handle used by entomologists for
catching insects by sweeping it over vegetation
Tractor - correct answer a powerful motor vehicle with large rear wheels, used chiefly on
farms for hauling equipment and trailers
Yield Monitor - correct answer an electronic tool that collects data on crop performance
for a given year. The yield monitor for grain measures and records information such as
grain flow, grain moisture, area covered, and location
Barnyard Grass
(Echinochloa) - correct answer (Plant-Weed)
Buckhorn Plantain
(Plantago lanceolata) - correct answer (Plant-Weed)
Cocklebur
(Xanthium) - correct answer (Plant-Weed)
Common Mallow
(Malva neglecta) - correct answer (Plant-Weed)
Common Purslane
(Portulaca oleracea) - correct answer (Plant-Weed)
