Note:In a little over a century, 4-H has evolved from a program primarily designed for training rural youth in new agricultural technologies to the world's largest youth development program. The 4-H experience creates amazing tales best told by those who lived them. 4-H Stories from the Heart offers a wide variety of stories by current and former 4-H'ers, volunteers, and professionals; some as young as six years old and others eighty plus! The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and often inspiring, but they all come from the heart. Learn how a teacher from a poor Mississippi school district leveraged a $1,000-4-H grant to enable her students to change their world. Chuckle over "Horse Vandal Strikes at the County Fair," "Banned from the Barn," and "Manure Happens." Discover how a dead chicken helped win a poultry contest, and why a new 4-H agent told his 4-H'ers to steal canes from old folks. 4-H Stories from the Heart is a project of the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents. Proceeds will be used to create an endowment for the National 4-H Hall of Fame that recognizes and celebrates those who have made a significant impact on 4-H from local to national levels.
