RULES & REGULATION
(Refer to General Rules)
1. In selecting vegetables for exhibition, choose such specimens that would bring the highest market price. Do not select the largest, select medium size specimens. If at all possible, do not mix varieties.
2. The following factors are generally used by an expert vegetable judge:
a. Trueness to variety type. If at all possible, pick the specimens from one variety.
b. Uniformity in shape, size, and color. Lay vegetables on the plate in the same direction, especially peas and beans.
c. Pick out a perfect specimen then select the others as similar to it as possible. Never mix specimens of different
maturity.
d. Protect from dirt, disease, infection and mechanical damage. Select specimens that are perfect and show no
blemishes of any kind.
e. Condition and maturity. Be sure that exhibits are of high quality.
f. Potatoes should not be washed. Remove soil using a soft cloth or brush.
g. Tomatoes should have stems removed. Carrots, beets, etc. should have tops (leaves) removed from vegetables leaving about 2 inches of stem.
3. The Fair will provide plates for display.
READ PREMIUM MATERIAL, CAREFULLY FOLLOWING ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS. If an entry calls for 5 specimens, be sure to exhibit that number; do not enter 4 or 6. In any instance, your exhibits will be disqualified if the correct
number of specimens is not entered.
