    What is this event?

  • South Dakota State University Extension is co-hosting the event with the Butte and Lawrence county conservation districts, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the South Dakota Society for Range Management. The contest is for FFA and 4-H youth who are interested in learning more about rangeland or soils. 
  • In the Soil Days contest, youth will learn about soil texture and types, factors that limit soil health, land management recommendations, and understanding suitability for building infrastructure. 
  • For the Rangeland Days contest, youth can compete in three categories: display, talk, and judging. There are four age divisions: New Rangers (ages 8-10), Wranglers (11-13), Scouts (first-time attendees ages 14-18) and Go Getters (youth 14-18 with previous experience). Participants will learn about plant identification, ecological sites, and how to determine suitability for cattle and wildlife. 

    Who is this event for?

  • Rangeland Days is for youth age 8-18 and educates them on South Dakota’s most-threatened natural resource – grasslands.
  • Soil Days is for 14-18-year-olds and educates them on one of South Dakota’s most important resources – soil.
  • Combined, the event provides 4-H and FFA youth with hands-on experience in understanding rangeland resources and a sense of stewardship in natural resource management. Don't be shy if your students haven't attended before. There is room for all levels of understanding!
