Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The future of Agriculture begins with our youth. In Carlisle County 81 percent of the land is in crop production, Agriculture is a driving force in Carlisle County.  With this in mind, the Carlisle County Extension Service hosted Clover Bud Day Camp –“Fun With Agriculture.”  Each day had a different theme.  June 13 was Barns; build a barn activity, hogs- a virtual trip to a hog farm, piglet activity, chickens and eggs, egg activity and egg on spoon race.  June 14 included vegetables and a virtual trip to vegetable farm, seed and grasshopper activity, veggies tasting, handprint carrot garden, also we talked about crops and tasted edamame/soybeans, tofu, and they planted sunflower seeds to take home. The last day beef and dairy cattle farms were visited virtually, clover buds were able to taste different milks, goats and sheep trivia was one of the activities, and a Kentucky Derby horse race finished off the day with pool noodle horses. The 20 students and parents all felt they were able to focus on how agriculture affects their lives each day.
