Did you know that farmers in Kentucky can make a

donation of $10.00 when renewing their farm license

plates to help raise funds for 4-H? The Ag Tag

Program is supported by the Kentucky Commissioner

of Agriculture Ryan Quarles. The money raised by

the program is evenly split between Kentucky 4-H,

Kentucky FFA and Kentucky Proud, which promotes

agricultural products raised, grown, or processed in

Kentucky by

Kentuckians. Last year

Kentucky 4-H programs

received $184,237 from

the Ag Tag Program.

These funds are split

between the county

where the funds

originated and the

Kentucky 4-H

Foundation for state

level programs. Daviess

County 4-H received

$3,353 of that sum.

That money goes straight into our 4-H Council

account where it benefits Daviess County 4-H’ers by

contributing to 4-H Camp Scholarships, leader

training and local 4-H promotional and educational

events. Please make sure you support our state and

local 4-H programs by encouraging farmers to make

this donation! We thank our farmers for their

continued support!

The 4-H Recognition Banquet will be Thursday,

April 20 at 6:00pm in Bittel Hall at the Daviess

County Lions Club Fairgrounds.

It’s Time for the TSC Paper Clover Drive!

The 4-H/TSC Paper

Clover Campaign is a

nationwide, in-store

fundraiser that benefits

4-H programming in

communities where a

TSC store is located.

We are fortunate enough

to have two TSC

locations here in Daviess

County. As a thank you

to the community for their support, we will have a

table set up for 2 days at each Tractor Supply

location. This will be an opportunity for our 4-H’ers

to show off some of their accomplishments, say

thank you to the community TSC shoppers for their

support of the programs, and gain some community

service hours by assisting customers with getting

their purchase to their vehicle. If you are interested

in joining us on any of these days in-store, please

call the Extension Office by March 24 to sign up.

TSC East off HWY 54 – April 29, 9-11am

and May 6, 9-11am

TSC West off Starlite Drive – April 27, 4-6pm

and May 4, 4-6pm

Please consider taking part in the Spring Paper

Clover Campaign April 26 through May 7 by

accompanying us in-store and by purchasing a $1

Paper Clover at checkout to show your support for

the

Daviess County

4-H program!

We spent our February meeting talking about

livestock judging, specifically cattle. Our adult

leader, Daniel Hayden, is planning another meeting

for those interested in Livestock Judging on March 9,

at 6pm.

Area Teen Retreat Districts 6 and 7 are teaming up to put on an Area Teen Retreat to be held at West Kentucky 4-H Camp

April 7-9. This retreat is focused on leadership and getting to know other teens from the area. If you

are interested, please contact Lindsey at the Extension Office. Registration is due March 10 so call today!

At our meeting we learned about health. Ms. Angie

helps us a lot with health and art. It was a really fun

meeting. We use parliamentary procedure for our

meetings. We have a president, secretary and

reporter. At our next meeting we will be doing a

character survey.

Camp is open to youth 9-15 years of age. The cost is

$195 or $185 if paid in full by May 1. The fee

includes meals, lodging, transportation, a t-shirt, and

a fun filled week you’ll never forget! Spaces fill

quickly, please don’t wait until the last minute!

As always we are looking

for teens (16-18) and adults

to serve as volunteers at

camp. If you are interested

please contact us. All

volunteers must go through

a screening process which

includes a background check and an interview.

Parents, please be aware we can only accept the

number of campers we have the adults to supervise.

Please consider serving as a camp volunteer to

ensure we can take as many youth as want to attend.

If you can’t attend, maybe you know someone who

can!
