Agricultural Science Department Supports Area 4-H and FFA Members (9/4/2009)

Over the summer, Truman’s Agricultural Science department did its part to recognize the efforts of 4-H and FFA members from Northeast Missouri who worked hard to prepare their projects for exhibition at county fairs.  The department purchased animals from the youth premium sales at the Macon County Fair and NEMO Fair.  All proceeds from these premium sales go to the youth exhibitors.

At the Macon County Fair, the department purchased the lamb premium of Charlotte Jackson of New Cambria, Missouri.  At the NEMO fair, the department purchased the premium for Ashlyn Billington’s (Novinger, MO) market hog.  The purchases were made using funds from the Agriculture Development fund, contributed by alumni and other supporters of the program.
