Modesto Junior College School of Agriculture is pleased to have served as the host of the NACTA 2023 Judging Conference on April 12-15, 2023.
The judging conference was open to all 2-year and 4-year schools that have institutional NACTA membership. Contests and events were in and around the Modesto, California area with support from multiple area businesses. With the vast amount of local agriculture, NACTA had convenient access to animals, plants, soils, etc. for the contests. (California Central Valley alone produces over 250 crops with a value of about $17 billion per year, contributing an estimated 25 percent of the nation's food.)
The NACTA Judging Conference could not have existed without the HUNDREDS of hours of assistance from industry associates, faculty, staff, and the MJC community! Our sincerest THANK YOU goes out to each and every one of you!
