Hillsboro FFA members participate in soil judging
Lead Summary
By
Hannah Hopkins-
On Oct. 20, six members from the Hillsboro FFA chapter competed in the statewide virtual soil judging contest.
The Agricultural Soils CDE is an educational activity 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.
This year, the contest was held virtually. Students looked at pictures and watched videos on the information needed to complete the contest. Each participant had 90 minutes to complete the contest.
Competing for the Hillsboro FFA were Riley Collins, Riley Stratton, Trinity Edenfield, Reagan Eastes, Ryan Mau and Jase Huffman.
Mau finished 52nd out of 1,096 participants in the state. The Hillsboro chapter finished 36th, out of 100 teams in Ohio. The team also finished third in the county. In the district, they finished sixth.
“With the contest being virtual, we weren't able to get the full experience as we did last year, but we still learned a lot,” Stratton said. “Hopefully we can get back to the normal contest next year.”
The Hillsboro FFA is very proud of all the members who participated and the hard work that they put into the contest.
