** ANNOUNCEMENTS THE DAY OF THE CONTEST TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ANY PRIOR.
The Department of Agriculture and the students at Western Kentucky University
are pleased to welcome you to the Agriscience & Education Field Day! The faculty and
students have planned an eventful day with contests that reflect practical applications that
build knowledge bases and leadership skills that will help them prepare to become
college and career ready.
The day has been planned by the Youth Development & Agricultural Education
class at Western Kentucky University. The students enrolled in the class are learning
principles and applications needed to become an effective agricultural educator, advisor,
and team coach. From organizing the handbook, awards, contest selection, and food
resources, they are involved in all the processes. Students not only go through the
planning and implementation phases of Field Day, but are also instructed on the
following topics in their semester long course work; Managing CDE teams, Recruitment
& Retention, SAE Record books, Completing Proficiencies, State & American Degrees,
Perkins Funding, Chapter versus Classroom Spending & STEM integration.
In the handbook, you will find information pertaining to each of the contests and
the registration page for the advisors and coaches. Each team and individual entry will
need a registration page for their respective contest. Registration is due April 14th.
Registrations will be accepted through mail, fax, or email.
We look forward to seeing you in April!

second is landscape plant identification.
Landscape Written Exam:
The Landscape written exam will test student’s knowledge of principles of horticulture including proper plant
selection, soil requirements, basic design principles, simple physiology (such as the basics of photosynthesis)
and general plant culture. There will not be a drawing component for this exam so students will not need to
bring T-squares, rulers, etc. The exam is 50 questions and they will have 45 minutes to take it. Students need
to bring a #2 pencil.
Landscape Identification Exam:
The Landscape identification exam consists of recognizing landscape plants hardy to our climate in south-
central Kentucky. They will be collected locally so the plants’ stage of growth (phenology) can be an important
identification feature. Students will choose their answers from a bank of plant names so while memorization of
scientific nomenclature is not required, the knowledge will greatly speed finding the correct answer. The bank
of plant names will be in alphabetical order by genus then species then common name. Students will be
stationed at large tables and will be asked to move to the next station every minute. Students ARE allowed to
revisit plants but only after all the plants stations have been visited. Students need to bring a #2 pencil.

The UTV safety contest will consist of three parts.
General farm safety quiz. The quiz will include ATV safety, roll over protection systems, and general

drive.
Driving course which contains four parts. Driving around the two “alleys” to get use to the throttle
(student do not need to go fast - the instructor will warn if speed continues could result in automatic
disqualification). The first alley will allow the student to get to know the handling of the vehicle. The
last alley will have a ninety degree back up into a tight pocket of cones. The last part will be driving
down and up a bank at a smooth constant speed. The last portion of the course, students are supposed to
act like someone is riding with possible neck injuries. At any time during the test, the instructor will say
“stop” and the student will be evaluated on response time and how smoothly they stop.
