Polk Central's Land Judging
Team, under the leadership of
Richard Smith, was the first
place winner in this year’s
Mountain View FFA Federation
Land Judging Contest held on
November 13. The contest was
held on Baxter Doggett's farm
just south of Forest City. Chase
High School placed second. East
High School was third, R-S
Central High School was fourth,
and McDowell County placed
fifth. By winning, the Polk
Central team becomes eligible to
attend the State Land Judging
Contest next April.
Polk Central's Stuart Walker
had the highest individual score
in the contest.
The Rutherford Soil and Water
Conservation District sponsored
this year's contest. Next year's
contest will be held in Polk
County and sponsored by the Polk
Soil and Water Conservation
District.
In the contest, contestants
determine the physical
characteristics of the surface and
subsurface layers of four (4)
soils. Factors such as structure,
texture, consistence,
permeability, drainage, and
slope are used to determine the
type of conservation treatments
needed to minimize erosion and
maximize soil productivity.
Each soil is also judged on its
limitations for urban uses such as
foundations and landscaping.
Land Judging is important
because it teaches our young
people how to recognize the
capabilities and limitations of the
land It gives them a better
respect for the many differences
in our soils.
Richard Smith. FFA Advisor
at Polk Central, is to be
commended for the fine job he
has done with the Polk Central
team in recent years. This year
marks the 8th time in the last 9
years that the Polk Central Team
lias won this contest. — Levourn
