Morgan County is a very rural community, yet several of our youth don’t have a clear understanding about where their food comes from and the process of producing a food product.  In partnership with the four elementary schools and family resource center directors, five 4-H Teen volunteers, Heritage days were born.   Jams and jelly classes, sorghum tasting, antiques, outdoor games and Kate the Cow were some of the activities provided at each of the schools.  Each youth received a recipe on making a yogurt parfait and nutritional benefits of dairy products in one’s daily diet.  Also each student had the opportunity to see what the life was like of a dairy farmer, by milking Kate the Cow.  Through this enrichment there were over 750 youth K-5 that participated in all the activities.  Of these youth only 20% of them had any contact with a dairy cow, and less than 60% had an understanding of Morgan County Agriculture. The purpose of the event was to promote awareness about Kentucky agriculture and Heritage products of Morgan County.   Youth gained a basic understanding of the contributions agriculture makes to our country's high standard of living. By utilizing Kate the Cow youth now have a level of excitement to learn and expand their knowledge of about Agriculture and Morgan County Heritage products.
