Agriculture Education

Author: Owen Prim

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development - Agriculture Education

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Newport, Kentucky is located in the northern most part of Campbell County and is across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.  Therefore, the area is considered very urban and the youth have limited knowledge about agriculture and where their food comes from beyond the grocery store.   Campbell County 4-H collaborated with Newport Middle and High Schools this summer during “Camp Wild Cat.”  The program focus was on agriculture in the classroom.  Topics covered included poultry, beef, dairy and soils.  Students learned that agriculture is the number one industry in the state and that over 400,000 Kentucky jobs are agriculture-related.   Program presenters shared nutritious recipes that the students could make at home.  After the program students shared these comments:

“I learned how eggs are graded and what grade A means.”

“I liked the day the dairy cow came to visit our school the best.”

“I thought all that we got from cows was milk and hamburgers.”

“I can’t wait to try these recipes at home.”
