Success Story4-H Country Ham; COVID



4-H Country Ham; COVID

Author: Gregg Rentfrow

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Agriculture

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The pandemic canceled or changed 4-H activities in 2020.  The 4-H Country Ham Committee wanted to make sure the project was completed.  Therefore, since we could not be at the state fair, we judged the hams at the Shelby and Warren County Extension offices and replace the speech requirement with an essay.  The project was completed with a lot of hard work and strategic planning; we were able to create some normalcy during a chaotic year.
