4-H Land Judging
Land judging trains youth in decision-making skills related to soil and water conservation. Team members will learn:
- How to determine the physical characteristics of the soil
- How to interpret this information for decision-making regarding usage and management practices for this soil
- How to predict the limitations of this soil and expected crop yields
- How this soil will affect the quality of ground and surface water
- How this soil will be adapted to a possible home site
A team consists of three or four 4-H members. Each member works independently and the top three scores are combined to make up the team score. During the contest, at least four pits or sites will be evaluated.
