The CDE (Career Development Event) is where the students learn about different industries such as Forestry

and Parliamentary Procedure. The group also had to take part in practicums for their events. The practicums

for forestry included; Timber cruising, map reading, Timber Stand Improvement (TSI), a team activity, and a

general knowledge test.

The practicums for the Parliamentary Procedure were a debate, showing the abilities, opening and closing

ceremonies, and secretary notes. There were also several sessions and the career show.

During the sessions, students heard from experts about different opportunities from the fields of agriculture. At

the career show the students viewed items including; the Case IH Autonomous Tractor. They could also visit

booths from different colleges and learn more about those schools and what they offer. There were many

companies there with fun activities that the students could do, such as a game where participants could see

how fast they could put bolts in the right hole and thread a nut on it the fastest.

Hoover, Brooke Wiseman, Anna Mohler, and Malia Dunn, Natalie Dunn, Luken Hoffman, Alese Finley, Olivia
