Items that make each lesson go smoothly.
Pre-sharpened for the win! Can't go wrong with these.
Amazon Basics Wood-Cased #2 Pencils, 150 Count
Make the investment now; too many contests and activities to count where these come in handy.
Items that will make even the smallest of greenhouses functional and fun.
No fertilizer injector? No problem.
Ortho Dial N Spray Hose-End Sprayer for Liquid Weed and Insect Killer, Fungicide, Fertilizer with 14 Dilution Settings 0841010
Whatever nozzle you choose, RAIN head is always the way to go! Less damage to plants and more consistency.
Unbranded Soft Rain Watering Wand with Shut Off Valve, Lightweight Metal Sprayer with Removable Nozzle for Garden Use OF126PH033
Again, no need for a $1500 label maker, when you can just use the color system!
WISYOK 1000 Pcs 6" Colored Jumbo Craft Sticks
The best way to mix soil!
Summer Escapes Round Plastic Wading Pool 7.9 in. H X 45 in. D
No such thing as enough brooms! Sweeping is endless in the greenhouse.
(6 Pack) RCP6373BRO Lobby Corn-Fill Broom, 38"
When there's not enough jobs for everyone in the greenhouse, everyone gets to water!
Ashman 12-Pack 2L Watering Cans, Assorted
Barn
From broiler to chickens to lambs, each of these products are essential to the set up.
Easy to store, and ALWAYS useful for setting down all of the things.
Lifetime 6-Foot Fold-In-Half Table (Commercial)
Meat Lug? More like feed lug, wash basin lug, chicken holding or rabbit holding lug. Great to hold all of the things.
LEM Heavy Duty Meat Lug
Can't go wrong with a brute tote. If you're keeping bags its the perfect size for one, or fill it all the way up with ~80-100lbs.
Rubbermaid 20 gal. Pet Feed and Seed Storage Container at Tractor Supply Co
Never enough feed scoops! The key is to keep them color coded by species or student team.
3 qt. Feed Scoop at Tractor Supply Co
Cattle panel. Need I say more? As true of a barn essential as baler twine.
16 ft. x 50 in. Max 50 Feedlot 10-Line Galvanized Cattle Fence Panel at Tractor Supply Co
Again, when it comes to storage, these are my tried and true. I think I've purchased at least four over the last two years? Also, conveniently two can fit in the back (carefully) of a Chevy Equinox to save on shipping costs.
TENNSCO Metal Shelving: Standalone, Light-Duty, 36 in x 24 in, 72 in Overall Ht, 5 Shelves
Rarely will you find a better deal on stenos. Must have for livestock judging.
