identifying hazards encountered in welding

identifying various types of metalworking (i.e., cold, hot) used in production agriculture
using welding equipment in production agriculture to perform a

utilizing a weld beads (e.g., stringer bead, weave bead) and passes to create the joint

How are metalworking skills used in agriculture?
Why does one need plans and a bill of materials before starting a metalworking project?
What should be done to the weld joint prior to welding?
How does one decide which metalworking process to use to make repairs in production agriculture?
Why would one choose to use shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) or stick welding, instead of a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) when repairing farm machinery?
