Career Development Events (CDEs) are a way to test knowledge and skills related to an agricultural career area. In the past, middle school members participated Fruit and Vegetable Identification, Milk Quality and Products, Environmental and Natural Resources and Creed Speaking. Hopefully this year we will participate in additional events. Maybe Official Ceremonies, Agricultural Sales, or even Agriscience Fair.
