I think He's looking to have a plow day that also happens to have a friendly competition for the FFA members. I admit, plow days are competetive enough without a contest. There is a whole bunch of us that know each other at our local plow day, and you can bet anything that we all watch each other and evaluate. Not much is said, except when somebody pulls too big of a plow too shallow and think's they're proving something- or when somebody does a horrible job of plowing and they're actually proud...
That being said- I think if you set it up as an FFA only event (I think that is your idea?) that is for FUN, and have a small award, like a certificate on a sheet of paper, It could be done. You'd have to know the personalities of the kids.
Judging would be on trash coverage, level-ness of plowing, clean furrow, just to name a few.
I would think that the friendliest way to hold an actual contest for the members would be each person starts with a tractor and trailer plow, set in "transport", and each person gets to set the plow. Consideration for number of adjustments to get correct. All contestants use same tractor and plow, so the non- tractor owning FFA members can also compete. That at least takes the considerations out that one contestant's dad spent $1000 putting on new iron on that old plow, and another couldn't afford such a thing.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
