Wynford FFA Digs Their Way to Success

By:Trey Fearing and Sara Hoffman

Soil is a non-renewable natural resource. This should make us think of how much we value this resource. Damage to the soil can disturb natures balance and prove a threat to life. On September 19, 2013 the Wynford FFA Chapter competed at the Crawford County Rural/Urban Soil Judging Contest. The contest was held at Windmans Farms. Wynford placed first in rural and second in urban judging. The students moving on to district soil judging for rural will be: Aaron Hand who placed first overall, Tessa Starner who placed third overall, and Grace Schiefer who placed fourth for Wynford. Austin Honaker and Tara Zinser did not place but will move on with the team. The urban soil judging team will also be going to districts as well. Those going to districts for urban judging will be: Tessa Starner who placed sixth overall, Loagan Neal who placed eighth overall, and  Callie Ruffener who placed tenth overall, and Madelyn Assenhimer was not able to place. Our district urban team placed 7th but sadly not moving on. The rural team placed 4th overall and going to state. The rural soil team will be competing at state level at 9a.m. in the Columbus area.
