Soil JudgingSoil judging happens during the fall and normally a group of our members do very well in it. These students will be taken to a farm and there will be pits of soil for them to judge and determine if the soil is in proper conditions and what it can be used for. They are split into two groups, Urban and Rural.
FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
In food science members are given various tests to explore the field of food sciences and technologies. Members are able to gain an appreciation for the food industry, develop a strong knowledge of sound principles from the food industry, and create a product along with their fellow team members.
