MANSFIELD — Clear Fork, Crestview, Plymouth and Shelby High School vocational-agriculture students competed in the Richland County Land judging contest at Malabar Farm State Park on Sept. 13.
Students were tested on their knowledge of agriculture and urban soils.
Land judging is a tool used to teach both youth and adults about the field of soil science, as well as, facilitate the proper use and management of soils. Land Judging is designed to guide students by highlighting the importance of basic soil properties as they pertain to the management of soils.
