Calloway County 4-H and FFA collaborated on a Tractor Short Course to engage youth in learning about career opportunities and expand their view of  their world.  The six session short course enabled youth to give back to the community by valuing the past.  The youth assisted at the Purchase Area Antique Tractor and Steam Engine Show at the Bill Cherry Expo Center.  During the show, youth collected $360 for a neighboring county that experienced a recent tragedy in a school  shooting event.  Other activities that the youth performed included: serving as judges for tractor events, collected the money at the gate, and making ribbons and buttons for the participants.  In this six session short course youth gained an appreciation for tractors, new technology and the variety of technologies that have been implemented on tractors for many years.  Youth participated in learning activities at each session.
