Here are results received by the FHSU Agronomy Team from the 2019 NACTA (North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture) Student Judging Conference hosted by Murray State University.

This contest is a national contest where FHSU competed against other four-year agriculture universities. Although FHSU competed against some much larger universities, the team fared quite well.

Team placings for FHSU were Ag Computers 3rd, Crops 10th, Knowledge Bowl 5th, and Precision Agriculture 4th.

Individual top five placings were Colton Massey with 5th in Ag Computers and 2nd in Precision Agriculture Planting

Chase Wagner with 3rd in Precision Agriculture Harvesting

Jerrod Lies with 4th in Precision Agriculture UAS.

FHSU will host the NACTA contest April 1-4, 2020 in Hays.
