Happy

Submitted by Jessie Swinamer. . This photo is of me with my 4-H show calf for the 2014 show season. This picture reminds me of agriculture because 4-H is the gateway to future farmers. It teaches members commitment, leadership, pride in their hard work and many other attributes that the youth of today's society should all be learning. The best way to learn them is by getting involved on the farm!
