February 4th was another great competition for the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus Judging Team. The team travelled to Montreal to compete in The 67th Annual Macdonald Intercollegiate Judging Competition held at Macdonald Campus of McGill University. Seven students and one AC alumnus competed as two teams against a total of 80 competitors and 20 teams.
