During the week of March 26, 2023, the University of Arkansas Soil Judging Team, participated in the 2023 National Soil Judging Contest, hosted by Oklahoma State University in the Woodward, OK area.

In the end, the team was 2nd in the team-judged-pit portion and 6th place overall out of 23 teams and 92 formal undergraduate participants.

Both results were the best the U of A team has done at a national contest in over 21 years!
