2020 is a unique year and we are so proud of the work 4-H youth have done across the state despite challenging circumstances! Nebraska 4-H would like to honor the work youth have done by providing a platform to highlight their exceptional projects and the valuable learning opportunities they have experienced. A Nebraska 4-H Virtual Project Showcase has been introduced to provide an opportunity for all 4-H members across the state!
4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults.
4-H is education for life that uses a learn-by-doing approach.
Active in all 93 counties and at 4h.unl.edu
Scotts Bluff 4-H
4-H is now able to hold in person practices and fair events (Including Trap!)! Participants, spectators, volunteers, and families will need to follow these guidelines: https://4h.unl.edu/documents/COVID-4H-Meeting-Guidelines-052820.pdf. The big take aways are to keep 6ft between you and others who are not in your household unit, wear a mask if you need to be closer than 6 feet, use good hand hygiene, sanitize equipment between uses. Our main goal is to keep our youth and families healthy as they participate.
Nebraska Extension is pleased to present the 5th annual Crop Scouting Competition for Nebraska youth. Youth interested in crops have the opportunity to learn about crop growth & development and basic crop scouting principles.
Don’t know a lot about crops? Ask a local agronomist to assist by providing a short lesson on crop production. You can have the agronomist meet with youth a little during each meeting or outside of the meeting. This is one way to engage those youth interested in crops.
Part of competing in the Scotts Bluff County Fair is to complete your Pre Fair Entry Forms. Pre Fair Entry can be done online through Showorks.
Entries are due on July 1, 2020.
