We revised the 4-H Land Judging publication in 2021 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. The contestants and coaches at the 2022 state contest were pleased with the changes. We are working on completing a set of short YouTube videos to help provide instructors with tutorials to better educate their students how to be more successful in site evaluations.
