Farm and Family

Most adults know winning a competition isn’t necessarily a prerequisite for future success in life.
Sometimes, however, we can get caught up in the moment and put too much pressure on our children to win at whatever they do, whether it is at school or on the athletic field.
At no time of the year is this truer in Kentucky than at the start of basketball season.
As a parent, it’s important for you to promote good sportsmanship in whatever activity your child chooses to pursue.

This impressive 7-pound turnip was grown by James A. McClain of Smithfield.

The Country Ham Project has turned into a countywide event.  It started as a 4-H Youth project years ago and due to requests from adults that wanted to participate the program has been opened up to everyone in the county for the past three years.

This is the way the program works.  There is a contract that must be signed when the participant pays for the hams.
