3 states attend Annual Regional Youth Crop Scouting Competition

FUTURE AGRONOMISTS AT WORK

Three states competed at the third Annual Regional Youth Crop Scouting Competition on Aug. 27, at the Eastern Nebraska Research and Extension Center near Mead.

Teams of youth participated by completing six crop scouting exercises in field plots. This educational, hands-on program provided students an opportunity to learn crop scouting and principles of integrated pest management (IPM) for corn and soybeans, obtain knowledge and skills that will be helpful in future careers, and to demonstrate newer crop scouting technologies.

The top two teams from Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana qualified for the competition.
