The Black River FFA Chapter started off its Spring Judging Invitationals Feb. 17, at the Mt. Gilead Judging Invitational at the Morrow County Fairgrounds. Team members participated in the Horse Judging, General Livestock, and Nature Interpretation competitions.
The Nature Interpretation competition consists of a students’ capability to evaluate and/or determine techniques of leading nature and wildlife programs. Contestants identify problem plant and animal species, including invasive and non-native species, and select those practices to best control the species based on the scenario provided. In addition, each student completes a 50-question written exam. The following team members participated in the competition: William Blicha (13th), Trent Youngeberg (18th), Cannon Jackson (29th), and Amanda Mycek (45th).
