Meats Evaluation and Technology
In the Meats Evaluation and Technology CDE FFA members develop the ability to evaluate meat products to optimize economic returns for producers and industry, as well as meeting customer needs. FFA members take a written exam that tests their knowledge of meat selection, storage, cooking, nutrition and safety. Members will identify cuts of beef, pork or lamb by retail trade name and prime cut identification. Participants become not only better agriculturists but also better consumers.
NOTE: The CDE will be a 4/6 contest starting in 2020. Starting in 2022, all state competing teams are required to compete in a regional or district contest.
