This past Monday we had two teams compete at the State CDE competitions. The Ag Comm. and Milk Quality teams had the chance of showing off their skills for the whole state of Kansas, great job to all!

While there the Ag Comm. Team competed in a practicum over the U.S. Cattle Trace System which gives consumers access to real time verification of percentage, head origin, and USDA official. Also, the Milk Quality Team identified different types of cheeses and milk off-flavors to indicate what was wrong with the producer. Both teams then finished off the day by exploring the Manhattan scene.

Ag Communication Team:

~ Rachel Doris
~ Riley Robinson
