First place entrants advance to competition at the Area 7 level; Area 7 winners will advance to State Competition. Bladen Soil and Water District expresses appreciation to this year’s judges, Christy Blanton of Columbus Soil and Water Conservation District, Stacie Kinlaw, 4-H Director with Cooperative Extension Service, and Chris Tatum of Farm Service Agency.
