The CDE was co-sponsored by Agri Supply Company of Florence which supplied the tools and the South Carolina FFA Association. Agri Supply also furnished the regional winner with a tool set for the chapter.
Qualifying teams from across the state will compete for State Awards April, 17, 2011 in Columbia.
