| Impact Report | In 2007, Lincoln County Extension Service hosted their first Kids, Kows & More event during the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium. This educational hands-on learning experience introduced youth and adults to the agriculture industry. The event is designed to give urban youth a better understanding of agriculture in their community. The school age youth involved were students from Ruidoso, Alamogordo, and Capitan schools. Volunteer leaders presented topics on dairy production, cattle ranching, forestry, and water conservation. Five hundred twenty-two youth and teachers attended the event. Evaluations stated that the students and teachers gained a better understanding of agriculture and their environment. |
