Boone-Hamilton Counties Soil Judging Contest
On September 24, 2007 the Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District and the Purdue Cooperative Extension
Service hosted the Boone-Hamilton Counties Soil Judging Contest at Ekin, Indiana located in northwestern Hamilton County.
Soil Judging is a competition in which students examine or "judge" different soil types, rating the different soil characteristics,
and determining the proper uses of each soil. Hamilton County has 29 different soil types, making this competition somewhat
of a challenge for these teams. However there were some very impressive scores among the group.
If you are interested in more information about soil judging and team competition, contact Kathleen Koch mailto:kkoch5@purdue.edu at the Hamilton County Purdue Cooperative Extension Service, or call 317-776-0854.
