SCD Nursery Landscape & Land/Homesite CDE Results🌷
This past Wednesday, Centre FFA members traveled to Little River and competed in our district Nursery Landscape and Land & Homesite contests.
In Nursery Landscape, members identified 50 live plant samples, diagnosed pests, plant disorders, and weeds, and took a general knowledge exam over the Nursery Landscape industry. In Land and Homesite judging members evaluated 4 Land Pits and Homesite pits. They determined the soil textures, permeability, slope, erosion, soil depth, and surface runoff, overall land capability class or final evaluation.
