Central Arkansas Career Development Event

Every year since the 1980's the Conservation Districts from Faulkner, Conway, and Van Buren County have held a practice FFA Judging Competition for Arkansas FFA students. Cleburne County Conservation District in the past few years has joined our efforts to form the Central Arkansas Career Development Event (Central Arkansas CDE). In 2019, we have over 1,500 students attend this event from over 70 schools in Arkansas. Below you will find pictures from the contests we hold each year.
