One by one, high school ag students climbed on a tractor, got behind the wheel of an almond sweeper and manipulated the controls of an extractor in a competition at the annual Occupational Olympics and Career Expo. It was just one of many field competitions which put over 1,000 high school students from across Stanislaus County to the test in various career fields. The event was held Thursday at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds.
