Ele Chew, reporter Landon Duckett, an Agricultural Mechanic (AgMec) student at Cuero High School, will showcase the flatbed he built from scratch at the 2025 Cuero Livestock Show.
“I drive a Chevy Duramax truck and I wanted to put a flatbed on it to make it easier to pull trailers. So, I built this for my AgMec project,” Duckett said.
His satisfaction and pride were evident as he recounted the journey of building the flatbed. The way he described each step of the process revealed his craftsmanship and the joy he found in creating. Starting six months ago in October, he learned how to build a flatbed in AgMec. The AgMec program develops skills in design, fabrication, construction, and restoration of farm and ranch equipment.
