On Tuesday, September 24th, eight students from the Chief Logan FFA chapter attended the District Ten Soil Judging competition held at Federal Hocking High School in Stewart, Ohio.
The competition was broke up into two sections: Urban Land Judging and Rural Land Judging. The Urban Land Judging portion encourages students to look at soil and determine what limitations are present when deciding whether to build a home, septic system, roadway, or landscaping. The Rural Land Judging teams focus more on the limitations on growing crops based on erosion, slope, drainage, and other factors. On top of judging three pits based on their focus, students also take two separate tests
Members of the Urban Land Judging placed third overall -- Grace Libben (5th), Natasha Webb (7th), Kyrstin Welch (11th), and Carly Robers. Members of the Rural Judging team placed fourth overall -- Rachel Cottrill (12th), Jennifer Saunders (13th), Meagan Johnson (17th), and Josie Cottrill. Both teams will compete at the State Land Judging Contest on October 12th.
