FFA members from across the county gathered in a field on Monday, March 4th to demonstrate their knowledge of soils in the annual Polk FFA Land Judging and Homesite Evaluation contest. The Land Judging event requires students to understand the makeup of soils and how they affect land usage. This event requires students to get a little dirty while thinking analytically. The Polk contest was sponsored by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
