Brief Project Summary:

This project supports the Virginia FFA Association hosting an annual Career Development Event focused on developing agronomy and crops evaluation skills of FFA members. Approximately 20% of the contest is directly related to identification and classification of soybeans for seed or feed production. The objectives of this event and the Fiber and Oil Crop Proficiency award are to provide an opportunity for FFA members to display their knowledge of agronomic sciences while evaluating and demonstrating their skills in this area through competition and to encourage FFA members to explore meaningful connections between classroom education and career opportunities in the agronomy industry.
