Ian Cozart, senior at Littlefield High School, signed onto join the John Deere Ag Tech Program sponsored by Western Equipment at Garden City Community College later this year. Singing day took place at the high school on April 27, 2022, where he was cheered on by his parents, teachers, and fellow classmates.

Western Equipment formally invites all high school juniors and seniors to participate in their annual agricultural technician contest which takes place each year on the third Saturday in January. At this event, students will be able to show off their skill level in today’s high-tech, fast-paced field of agricultural mechanization. We encourage students of all backgrounds to participate who have an interest in mechanics—no prior agricultural experience needed.
