The  Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond ag science class, which includes Janette Comstock, Zane Crist, Kyle DeHart, Lucas Eastin, Madison Klay, Brad Miller, Keegan Morfey, Colton Romine, Damian Root, and Bri Smith, attended the Section 17 Land Use CDE in September.

After arriving at the site east of Hindsboro, FFA members judged the practice pit. In the practice pit, soil experts assisted with testing soil and discussed right and wrong answers off the card. After the test pit, FFA members were separated and divided into five groups.

At each pit, FFA members were given 10 minutes to judge. Overall, members judged five different pits. In the 10 minutes, members were asked a variety of question as to finding the slope, judging soil profile, determining color and soil structure, as well as other soil management questions.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
