Decorah FFA Perform Well at State Soils Event

Four members of the Decorah FFA competed at the State FFA Soils Evaluation Career Development Event held at the Iowa State University campus.

The Decorah FFA team of Jaden Anderson, Anna Hanson, Hailey Nierling and Julianna Wise received a bronze rating at the state competition after receiving 5th overall at the District Competition.

The contest consisted of a written test and the judging of four soil pits.  Members evaluated the soil based on surface features, the soil profile, land capability and productivity, evaluation of land use and management practices, and suitability of soils for non-agricultural uses.
