Benjamin Logan FFA members Kendra Kennedy, Breshon Jacobs, Ryan Loomis, and Madison Buettner recently competed in an urban soil judging competition, and Owen O’Brien, Taylor Forsythe, Whitney Wiloby, and Elizabeth Miller competed in soil judging. The urban team placed eighth and the ag team placed 13th. Agricultural soils judging is designed as a practical method of teaching students to evaluate land and soil and to make decisions when faced with soil-related issues that affect agricultural production. Urban land and soil judging teaches students to evaluate land and soil to determine its potential use for urban, homesite and other non-farm uses. (BENJAMIN LOGAN PHOTO)
