Youth Ag Day has become an annual event in Morgan County.   4-H Teen Club members and FFA members joined together and planned out a Youth Ag Day for all 2^nd graders in Morgan County.  The event was hosted at the Morgan County Extension Office.  FFA students and 4-H members worked on planning the stations and the educational opportunities for the youth.  Teens were responsible for providing not only the materials but also the animals for the station.  

The 4-H agent coordinated with the schools for the event and assisted with the set-up.  The FFA advisors coordinated with the high school students in making sure they had all materials.  The teens even came to the office the night before to go over the details of the event.   There was a total of 50 teens serving as station leaders and as group leaders with the elementary students.   Master Gardeners also provided hands on planting, dissecting of a seed and pollination.  4-H Agent from neighboring county shared the importance of bees with the students by bringing an observation window.  We had beef, goat, pig, chickens/ducks, rabbits and horses for the youth to experience.   This year we were able to add Dairy to our program, thanks to Starbucks Annie for making an appearance for the kids. We also had tractor safety and backyard games for the youth.  The youth ag day accommodated over 180 2^ndgrade students.  

The high school students received great recognition from the superintendent for their hard work.  This event took several volunteers and leaders.
