I know as a local educator who to go to with questions, but I also think we can find new ways to connect youth and volunteers to these ag and hort opportunities as I continually hear....we didn't know about 4-H...we didn't know 4-H was into that and so on. ]]> 2022-09-15 21:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/akoester12/mn4hagronomyandhort/wish/2298975760 https://padlet.com/akoester12/mn4hagronomyandhort/wish/2298977091 With this my first year on this committee, I believe I would consider success hosting a regional event in conjunction with state wide event.

Local resources connecting youth interested in ag and hort careers would be a huge asset to local and regional and even state programs. I also think we need to become more visible (ag publications, local, regional and state) and amp up the Ag Ambassador program. This is a goal of mine locally. I also believe that local FFA chapters would make a great collaboration.]]> 2022-09-15 21:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/akoester12/mn4hagronomyandhort/wish/2298982717 https://padlet.com/akoester12/mn4hagronomyandhort/wish/2298983877 I would like to see more participation from the NW Region in the Ag Ambassador program. 
I think an adopt a farmer would be a cool concept.

From a rural county, there is opportunity for exponential growth in 4-H Ag/Hort participation among members and volunteers. 
I think there would be great benefit in engaging those adults/stakeholders who participated in the Ag/Hort roundtables to lead and engage our members.
