This book gives insight into Agricltural engineering practices in Nigeria, advances made and the need to do more in order to meet up with the global trend in agricultural engineering revolution in the world.
Agricultural engineering training was substantially done overseas until about the early 1960s when local opportunities started to be available. In the early days of agricultural engineering services, the first set of Nigerian agricultural engineers was produced through the re-training of professionals in civil engineering and agronomy.
Agricultural engineering education in Nigeria started in the Colleges of agriculture and polytechnics, with training in farm mechanization with emphasis on tractorization and later expanded to cover all aspects of agricultural engineering.
