Outcome: Initial Outcome
Last program year, Rowan County 4-H Council made efforts to offer the youth of Rowan County more agriculture opportunities. One of the efforts was to expand the 4-H Country Ham project and that is in the works by providing a country ham shed and getting a certified livestock leader. Another effort that was made, was promoting the 4-H Poultry Judging event. This was the first year that the activity was offered in the county and 11 youth participated in the training. From those that attended the training, five of the youth participated at the Kentucky State Fair for the first time.
Through a verbal survey, 95% of the participants plan to participate next year, 100% learned something new about poultry, and 80% of the participants attended the Kentucky State Fair for the first time.
