The Kaufman County 4-H Ag and Natural Resource Task Force (new name for committee : ) ) met on May 19th to discuss preparing the youth of Kaufman County for the challenges in the Livestock and Natural Resource Projects.
From the meeting 3 objectives will be focused on for the 2011-2012 4-H Year. And we will be needing some help to make them happen!!
1. Creating better educational learning points (aides) for 1st to 3rd year families in the livestock projects. How can we better serve them to help them get through their first project experience (ie - raising and caring for, entry and at the show...)
2. Researching the Needs and Wants lists for each major project area. (Dog Project - Location for summer meetings, Dairy Goats/Market Goats - first owners seminar, Beef project - opportunities past county show, etc)
3. Setting up a "Before the County Fair" experience for all of the youth from across the county to get to know each other and to build camaraderie.
The next meeting of the Ag and Natural Resource Task Force is in July. If you would like to be a part of this
committee please contact the 4-H Office.
