| Maximizing Economic Yield |
|
Maximizing Economic Yield (MEY) instructional materials were developed for use by agriculture teachers and others to explain the concept of maximum economic yield production. The activities are targeted for high school students, but can also be used for adult education programs.
The instructional materials were designed for teachers to use as a supplement in their normal course offerings. The lessons can be infused into existing areas of study, such as crop science, plant science, soil science, and agricultural business management. The materials are not intended as a new curriculum. Consequently, teachers may select appropriate lessons and include them in several agricultural classes. The MEY materials are divided into five units of instruction:
Each unit contains a list of objectives, suggestions for infusing the materials into existing curricula, teaching materials, suggested teaching strategies, and a vocabulary list. Technical information is provided for teachers and students in each unit, as well as suggested student activities and experiments.
