Delta FFA Students Learn and Compete at County Soils Event
Recently, members of the Delta FFA chapter went to the county soil judging contest. This hands-on event lets students look at different types of dirt and use what they learned in the classroom out in the real world.
At the contest, students had to climb down into large pits dug into the ground. For 3-4 fields, they had to fill out an official scorecard about the soil. They carefully looked at important features like how the dirt felt, its structure, the slope of the land, and how well water flows through it. This helps farmers and builders know how to best use the land.
After looking at the soil pits, the students were tested afterwards with a written exam about soil science. The combined points from their scorecards and the test determined their score to go to districts. This score decides which students get to move on to the next round of the CDE competition.
