These field days provide opportunities for landowners, students, and other interested
stakeholders to view demonstrations, materials, techniques and equipment used
in
resource
conservation practices "hands-on". In 2002, the RCD expanded the field day program
to include an educational natural resources field day for student members of
the Future Farmers of America (FFA).
