2007 Wisconsin State Land Judging Competition

On September 18, 2007, 184 high school students from 34 Wisconsin schools and a 4-H club participated in the State Land Judging Competition.  

Schools participating were:  Arcadia, Barron, Belleville, Black Hawk, Brodhead, Cashton, Edgerton, Elkhorn, Fall Creek, Gale, Ettrick, Trempealeau, Hillsboro, Janesville Craig, Juda, LaFarge, Lancaster, Marshall, Milton, Monroe, Monticello, Mt. Horeb, New Lisbon, Orfordville, Parkview, Pecatonica, Portage, Potosi, Reedsville, River Ridge, Shullsburg, Verona, Weston, Whitewater, plus two teams from York 4-H.

The contest was held at the Hans and Amy Justeson farm, located four miles south of Belleville.  Each student described soil and landscape features, rated the land capability class, noted major limitations for land use, and made recommendations for conservation practices. Students were scored based on agreement between their evaluations and those of official contest judges. Judges included local Land Conservation and Natural Resources Conservation Service professionals.
