Farm Supply’s Third Annual Quiz Jam at Santa Barbara County Fair
Farm Supply Company hosted their Third Annual Quiz Jam event Monday, July 11, kicking off the Santa Barbara County Fair.
Farm Supply had over 200 contestants participate at their event. The event is divided into two divisions depending on the contestant’s age. The junior division consisted of 34 teams, ages 9 to 13 and the senior division consisted of 24 teams, ages 14 to 18. Fifty-eight teams in total competed with their eyes on the prize to win.
The event is a timed, team event, challenging each four-member team with five agricultural related challenges. Stations included putting a tire on a tractor, roping a steer, vaccinating or ear tagging a calf, irrigation pipe fitting and dressing up in farm safety apparel.
