Soils and Land Evaluation
The Soils and Land Evaluation CDE helps students gain an understanding of the most basic need for all agricultural pursuits—healthy land on which to grow crops or raise livestock. Participants identify and evaluate soil samples for various indicators, grade plots of land for slope and drainage, and work to determine what type of activity the land would be best suited for.
