2024 NACTA Contest

This past week I had the opportunity to travel to Twin Falls, Idaho to compete in the 2024 NACTA crops contest. We traveled as a group of nine total out there. We began our week by touring local area farms and experience local Idaho Agriculture. This consisted of potato, sugar beet, and a different style of corn farm than we are used to. After this we began studying for our contest. Thursday we competed in the contest. Four hours straight of exams and identification was rough on everyone, but we were treated to a nice meal afterward. Then we had the opportunity to spend Friday touring Yellowstone National Park, and ended the week with our Ceremony dinner. Ultimately, it was a great opportunity and a great reason to be a part of a Purdue Judging Team.
