FFA and 4-H students are invited to compete in 21 agriculturally based judging contests, ranging from livestock judging to farm business management. UC Davis students from a variety of majors coordinate the contests. Faculty, staff, and local community members volunteer to make this event possible. Participants include four (4) students and one (1) adult chaperone. This event will be held on the UC Davis campus in Davis, California. The UC Davis event is one of the two largest state-level California Department of Education (CDE) FFA events of the year.

Students will be exposed to this top agricultural university while learning more about their contests and competing at the highest level in the state.
