The Ohio State Soil Judging Team competed in the Northeast Regional Collegiate Soils Contest (October 5-7, 2016) hosted by Pennsylvania State University and held in the vicinity of State College, PA. Building on last year’s success, there was record enthusiasm for soil judging this year, and Ohio State was able to take a large team of 12 students to Pennsylvania—two returning and 10 new. The Buckeyes entered three teams of four among a field of 21 from nine universities: Delaware Valley College, Pennsylvania State University, University of Rhode Island, University of Maryland, Wilmington College of Ohio, Bloomsburg University, West Chester University, Richard Stockton College, and The Ohio State University. The Northeast Region had 88 total individual soil judgers—its largest turnout on record which speaks to the growing popularity of this collegiate sport and the position it holds as a premier outdoor learning laboratory.
