The McClain FFA chapter had four members compete in the State Soil Judging contest on Oct. 8.

This contest emphasizes the soil and its limitations as a homesite. The homesite uses that are highlighted in this contest are the foundations for buildings, lawns and landscape plantings, septic tank absorption fields and sewage lagoons.
