This is not only a teaching moment for the students but also for the adults.

Objective #2 - 4-H/FFA Judging Practice
This year the Union County Extension Home Economist Owida Franz and 4-H Leader Sug Farrington worked with FFA Teacher Mike Barnes to plan and conduct the first Union County 4-H/FFA Judging Practice. FFA members from Raton, Des Moines, Clayton, Tucumcari, Logan, Springer, Las Vegas and San Jon participated. 4-H members from Tucumcari, Logan, Clayton and Des Moines also participated. This was a good practice for the FFA members before they went to the State Contests. With the increase of fuel costs and the decrease in funding, this was an excellent place for members to come and practice. The coaches were very positive in their evaluation of the practice and hope that it is continued in 2010. 75 youth and 15 FFA instructors and 4-H agents participated.
