This is a role-play event in which the participant assumes a position of an extension, sales, or research person dealing with a farmer/grower in a field or office setting.
The participant is judged on how he/she approaches the grower and reasons through the problems presented. Actual field situations are used to test the student's knowledge of weed management and other crop production principles. This is generally the most difficult event to prepare for but it is usually the most rewarding and enjoyable. It provides a lot of helpful experience for future use.
