Montana FFA offered poultry judging for the first time during the annual John Deere Ag Expo, held in Bozeman in November of 2019. The new career development event (CDE) was met with rave reviews and it was reported the kids really enjoyed the new contest. Building on that momentum, poultry judging will again be offered as a youth contest as part of the MAGIE.
