The Iowa State University Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program and Iowa 4-H host the Iowa Youth Crop Scouting Competition. Middle school and high school students (those completing grades 7-12) from Iowa are invited to compete and showcase their crop scouting abilities in corn and soybeans. At this annual event, teams work with Iowa State University faculty and staff and industry professionals to identify corn and soybean problems in the field.

Participants in the Iowa Plant the Moon Challenge will join a global science experiment and research challenge to examine how vegetable crops can grow in lunar soil. Iowa 4-H will support youth teams through funding from the Iowa Space Grant Consortium, the Iowa 4-H Foundation, and the ISU Integrated Pest Management Program.
