Rules and Tips for Displaying Vegetables
(Refer also to General Rules)
- When choosing vegetables for exhibition, choose such specimens that would bring the highest price at a retail market.
- Select specimens that are true-to-type. Do not mix varieties.
- Pick specimens of the same size, shape, and maturity level. Medium-sized specimens are usually best.
- Select specimens free from soil or debris from insect or mite skins, honeydew, or excrement.
- Select specimens free from bruises, cuts, or other mechanical damage. Harvest specimens with shears. Wrap specimens individually for safe transport to fair.
- Enter only the number of specimens called for in the premium list. Entries with an incorrect number of specimens will be disqualified.
- Entries of root crops, such as beets, carrots, radishes, rutabagas, and turnips, should be topped, leaving petioles at a length of 1-2 inches.
- Remove stems from tomatoes to avoid skin punctures.
- Unsound vegetables will be removed by the fair association.
- Exhibitors must accurately identify their own entries as to varieties and types. Exhibits entered into the wrong class may be disqualified.
