In which Career Development Event do members identify seeds, grade crops, and analyze soil?

• A. Forestry
• B. Agronomy
• C. Entomology
• D. Plant Science

Answer: (B)

The Agronomy Career Development Event focuses specifically on the study and management of field crops, including activities such as identifying seeds, grading crops, and analyzing soil. Participants in this event develop skills and knowledge related to crop production, soil management, and weed, pest, and disease identification. This area of study is crucial in understanding how to effectively grow and manage crops for optimal yield and environmental sustainability. In contrast, the Forestry event centers on forest management and tree identification, while Entomology is centered on the study of insects and their impact on the environment and agriculture. The Plant Science event, while related, typically encompasses a broader range of topics including both crops and ornamental plants but does not focus as narrowly on the soil and crop-specific skills emphasized in the Agronomy event.
