Participants also learn about important agricultural and conservation issues. The summer program culminates with a trip to the Union Fair to see the 4-H participants fit and show their cattle. There will be one 8 week long session of Farm Hands in the summer. The program will run on Thursdays from 9-11, starting July 8th and running until August 26th.
