A little contest history
I thought you might like to see what 22 years of soil judging has done to my hair. This was a 1991 regional contest I ran . The photo is an outwash site not far from your practice pit #11. The person to my left is Paul Golrick who spoke at the Fire House. The person to the right of me is Ed White who was the PA NRCS soil Scientist at that time.
