as biology, agronomy, mechanics, and marketing) and covering a variety
of operations throughout the year. In this module, the practice of
crop production will be described by discussing eight components in

For each component, the operations and when they need to be carried
out, the machinery or equipment farmers use, potential environmental
concerns related to that component, and best management practices
recommended to minimize environmental problems will be described.
