Soil Judging Contest for Preble County High School Students
|
Our annual Soil Judging Contest took place on Friday, September 13th and it was a perfect day to be outdoors! High school students from Preble County traveled to the farm of Gary Brubaker to test their growing knowledge of soil types for urban and agricultural uses. Students judged three very different soil pits, which are deep enough to expose top soil, subsoil, and bedrock, in different parts of the field. At the fourth station, students took a multiple choice test for urban or agricultural purposes. Each group was focused and hard working, which allowed for a successful contest!
We would like to thank Gary Brubaker for allowing the contest to take place on his farm and Bill Lewis for digging out the soil pits. A very special thank you to the staff, teachers, and students that made the commitment to compete in the contest. We can't wait for Soil Judging next year! |
