The Alabama Nursery and Landscape Association held its final Green Industry Equipment Rodeo of 2023 at LeCroy Career Technical Center in Clanton. Almost 100 students participated in the FFA event to learn the different techniques and ways to use various heavy machinery they may encounter with job fields they are looking to break into.
Students from Chilton, Shelby and Bibb counties worked with heavy machinery from backhoes, tractors, loaders and dozers.
