Bowdon FFA team members Case Wilson, KC Geter, Kayla Ramage, and Caleb Thompson placed first in the Area I Jr. Land Judging Contest. The Land Judging Career Development Event provides students the opportunity to determine land classification, use and treatment practices for selected sites. The students must consider topsoil texture and thickness, effective depth, permeability of subsoil, slope, erosion, drainage and land capability.
