Land Judging

October 16, 2020

by Brielle Unseld

On October 6th, 2020, 14 students from Pierce High School participated in this year’s land judging competition. It was held south of Pierce. Thanks to Ken and Adam Venteicher for allowing us to use their fields for our competition. Land Judging is an annual competition where students compete individually and on teams, and they judge 4 different soil plots. Land Judging enables each participant to learn how to recognize the physical features of the soil, determine land capability for crop production, and evaluate management practices needed for proper stewardship. The Pierce team 1 placed 15th out of 127 teams, and Larissa Meier was our top scorer for Pierce.
