Success StoryA Repeat Top Performance



A Repeat Top Performance

Author: Charles Comer

Planning Unit: Montgomery County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Practicing stewardship in Natural Resources

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The 2018 4-H Land Judging Senior team from Montgomery County repeated the achievement of last year by winning top honors at the Kentucky State Fair 4-H event.  Their repeat performance of the previous year is due to focused practices, proper guidance and knowledgeable direction from their 4-H coach.   He is a former land judging contestant.  He values the experience gained from the participation in the contest and its life-long application because participants learn the value of agriculture, the importance of food production and the value of protecting natural resources.  Through their participation, youth have gained a respect for the earth’s soil and a practical understanding of land use.  Soil is not an expendable resource.  For this team, they understand the connection with the land conservation.  Their two years of experience has taught them the importance of balance between land use, soil preservation and the methods for deciding what the land is capable of producing.
