County fairs are almost here! As you plan to hire judges, please pass along to these judgeing tools to help them be an educated judge. Many resources can be found at https://www.rrc.k-state.edu/judging/index.html.
In particular, a new tool is available for contestants to calculate frosting and filling recipes for safety. This worksheet can be found at https://bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/item/frostings-and-fillings-worksheet_4H1171.
Encourage judges to review the videos and resources to learn more details about judging food exhibits. This also includes judging food preservation exhibits. Sometimes a foods judge will also judge food preservation. There are scorecards to help guide them in judging food preservation.
An educated and knowledgable judge can be a key partner in educating all exhibitors!
