Youth Development
Impact Reports
100% of the youth involved in agriculture activities had the opportunity to participate in educational clinics and workshops as well as bio-security trainings. 90% accepted the opportunities and 100% of the participants reported that they received usable and adoptable information.
A new project was started in the County by Dr. Manny Encinias and interested producers and called “Production Steer Project”. This was an opportunity for the youth to use their show steers and also subject them to deeper evaluation using ultra sound and grid sales figures to determine further the economic value of their animals. The program attracted 23 participants from the 30 that were eligible with a completion of 20 animals being in the final evaluation,
76 youth were worked with in the agro-science program where 100% completed the basic requirements by participation in their local science fairs with 30% receiving the opportunity to participate in the regional and/or state level competition.

Youth Development (Union County)
Situation Statement
Union county currently and for the seeable future, has a strong interest in Agri-science activities and research in conjunction with the on-going range and livestock research in the area as well as a strong interest in the area school science and FFA programs
Short-Term Objectives
During the 4-H program year, 98% of youth involved in 4-H programming will learn subject matter concepts through hands-on experiences such as clinics, workshops, etc. 2. During the 4-H program year, 98% of youth involved in 4-H programming will develop life skills through project work, competitive events, real-life situations and career exploration opportunities. 3. During the 4-H program year, 50% of youth enrolled will gain public speaking skills, strengthening communication and organization abilities and self-concept, through speaking at club, school enrichment and special interest events. 4. During the 4-H program year, 75% of youth in this special interest will develop cognitive skills, teamwork, leadership and citizenship potential.
Narrative: One hundred and seven youth and adult advisors and mentors were worked with this year on a variety of research projects. The most common project was in Botany with Zoology and Chemistry following in popularity. There were some projects (3 rd grade level) where the classes were divided into groups and worked on a 3 prong approach to one major research project. There were 3 of these and soil studies, plant population studies and grazing impact studies were the major projects. This activity involved 5 separate school districts and 4 families participating in home schooling. Results included the advancement of 36 youth to regional science fairs, 16 to state science fairs, and 2 to international competitions. The program was fortunate enough to have a top 5 member in the Intel-International Science fair and a 2nd place winner in the international SRM High School Youth Paper Presentation.
