(a)	Design a crop farmyard, including buildings and vegetation, considering: location of house and buildings (e.g., grain bins, Quonset and equipment repair shop); necessary structures (e.g., fuel tanks, fertilizer and chemical storage); external roads and access points; access for equipment and vehicles; movement of materials; availability of utilities (e.g., power, natural gas and water); waste disposal (e.g., garbage and sewage); garden, flower beds and other vegetation; composition and location of a shelterbelt; and, dugouts and ponds.
(b)	Research advantages and disadvantages of construction materials (e.g., steel or wood frame and exterior material) and shapes of farm buildings.
(c)	Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of underground and overhead power lines and identify ways to mitigate the risks.
(d)	Investigate possible water sources (e.g., dug-out, sand point and well), testing for plant and human consumption and their proximity to wastewater outputs (e.g., sewage).
(e)	Discuss the use of alternative sources of energy (e.g., backup generator, geothermal, solar panels and windmills).
(f)	Explore an effective system (e.g., recycling program) for solid waste disposal.
(g)	Identify security options (e.g., dogs, fencing and security cameras) for crop farms.
(h)	Discuss the importance of fire guards within a farmyard.
(i)	Identify characteristics and options for chemical and fuel storage.
(j)	Explain how to deter and remove pests and rodents.
