| Impact Report | 4-H Horticultural Team When youth who have an interest in horticulture (or any other area) are given a chance to explore their interest through 4-H Horticultural projects and compete on a 4-H judging team it increases the young person’s knowledge and their chances of being more successful in that area as an adult. The agricultural agent coached the 4-H Horticulture Team for county, district, and State 4-H Contests and put-on the county horticulture contest. The training for Horticulture contest teaches 4-Hers how to identify different fruit, nut, vegetable, and ornamental varieties, discern healthy desirable specimens from less healthy and less desirable samples, and hones their decision making skills in placing the specimens within the classes. As a result of the training they received in their practices, the Senior 4-Hers placed third at State 4-H Contest and the Novice and Junior 4-Hers participating at District Contest placed 10th. |
