We revised the 4-H Land Judging publication to better align with the current NRCS and Cooperative Extension recommendations. Practice standards have changed over the years and we need to keep current with the recommended conservation practice standards. These new practices also better align with National Land Judging contest so the state winners that go to the National Contest are more familiar with the National Contest rules. We also added a Home Site Evaluation to the State contest for the urban students that might not be interested in agricultural land uses. This exposes them to the conservation efforts needed in the urban community. The Home Site Evaluation also is a part of the National Contest and it provides Kentucky students additional opportunities to compete in a national level contest.
