Judging Teams

Once again, Chris DeCubellis will offer a virtual ag judging contest! This will be an individual contest with juniors, intermediates, and seniors having their own age category (no county teams) and open state-wide to youth 8-18. The kids will judge some classes of livestock, a class of white leghorn hens, a class of dairy cows, hay, grain, potentially peanuts, complete an ag tool ID, and answer some questions related to some situations or just general knowledge questions.

Open enrollment will be open through October 12. The contest will be held October 14 at 6 pm EST. There will be a tutoriatl/practice on October 11 at 6pm EST.
