Farm and Family

First off, I want to thank all of those that donated funds and time to create a massively successful first ever Henry County Youth Livestock Auction. The Henry County Youth Livestock Foundation put their hearts into this auction, and it showed.
All projects from 4-H Livestock members, 4-H Fur and Feathers members and FFA member brought great prices, but the most impressive part was how supportive and generous the community was toward our youth. It makes me proud to be able to work in this fantastic county.

4-H strives to give youth the skills they need to be adults who are actively engaged in their communities.
Since 1989, Kentucky 4-H has given its senior members an opportunity to attend the four-day statewide Issues Conference to learn how to identify and address local issues while developing their leadership and citizenship skills.

Henry County 4-H is ready to kick off a new program year beginning in October, and there are lots of clubs and activities to join. If you are between the ages of 9 and 19 then you should check out 4-H.
There are many excellent reasons to join 4-H. Here are just a few:
Research has shown that active 4-Hers have a higher academic competence and higher school engagement.
• They are four times more likely to make contributions to their communities.
• They are two times more likely to be civically active.
• They are two times more likely to make healthier choices.

Kentucky 4-H offers programs to help youth gain skills as they grow so they can ultimately become successful adults.
As youth progress into middle and high school, 4-H continues to open doors through various leadership opportunities.
Teens have the chance to complete projects and learn new skills on a higher level as senior-level 4-Hers, and they also have several leadership opportunities. While leadership training starts as soon as someone enrolls in 4-H, many young people become leaders of local clubs early on, as many of the statewide leadership roles are only available to teens.
