High school students can participte in Soil Judging Contests through their local FFA Chapter. Most FFA Chapters are affiliated with a High School, but this is not a requirement.
Regional Soil Contests determine who will attend the State Contest. The State Contest is held in October and each year the location is moved to a different region. An average of 25-30 schools (FFA chapters) are able to participate in the State Contest annually.
Herb Huddleston, OSU Extension Agent, has been organizing this event for over 20 years.
