2009 Southwest Wisconsin Land Judging Competition

The Lafayette County Land Conservation Department hosted the 2009 Southwest Wisconsin Land Judging Contest on October 15, at the Tanglewood Property owned by Kurt and Tammy Wedig. This event alternates between Grant, Green, and Lafayette counties, with FFA and 4-H students from area counties competing. Approximately 269 students from 16 schools and one 4-H Club participated at this year’s contest.

The students review four soil pits and evaluate soil properties, estimate slope, rank land classes, and recommend conservation practices in the contest. The “Soil Study and Land Evaluation Handbook” is used for judging.
