Land Judging is a high school competition that challenges students to gain a better understanding of soil structure and land evaluation. Land Judging enables each participant to learn how to recognize the physical features of the soil, determine land capability for crop productions, and evaluate management practices needed for proper stewardship. Soil, land and home-site evaluation provide setting for students to investigate the soils in their region, the environment that surrounds them and their effect on their daily lives.
