Welcome to the website for the 2017 National Collegiate Soils Contest sponsored by the American Society of Agronomy and hosted by Dr. Mike Konen, Northern Illinois University, Department of Geography with assistance from the Illinois Soil Classifiers Association and the Illinois USDA-NRCS. Additional support comes from Weaver Consultants Group.
The contest will be run out of DeKalb, Illinois with practice pits located in the Rock River Hill Country, Green River Lowland, and Bloomington Ridged Plain physiographic divisions (map included in CONTEST MATERIALS menu).
A huge thank you to everyone that attended and all the volunteers that helped make this event a success! I truly appreciate everything everyone did.
