DIVISION 1-1 - FFA AGRICULTURE MECHANICS 1. Entries will be judged on the basis of workmanship, evidence of sound planning, number and degree of skills involved, practicality and agricultural usefulness of the entry. 2. All entries must be student’s work and result from the training program in Agriculture Mechanics. 3. The judges reserve the right to re-enter entries in classes in order to make up more judgable groups of entries. 4. Judges shall give greater consideration to an item built entirely by the student rather than a pre-fabricated item. 5. Entries in Class 1 must be mounted on display boards that may be any size less than 2 feet by 4 feet. Display boards may represent several students’ work. Points from these classes will have equal value with other similar classes in judging sweepstakes. Individual items not mounted will not be judged. Boards not meeting the specifications will be placed lower than those boards that do. 6. All entries must be removed from equipment and placed in proper class area to be judged. Example: pickup bumpers and stock racks. 7. All projects not of quality will not be judged. This will be left to the discretion of the Agriculture Mechanics Committee. The items must be removed from the display area. 8. Any entries in the Agriculture Mechanics Class that are found to have been shown in previous years will disqualify that chapter, for all premiums, for the current year, in the Agriculture Mechanics show. The Agriculture Mechanics Committee shall have the responsibility for making this decision. .
