AG TAG
It only takes $10 to make a difference in supporting Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and Kentucky Proud. Be sure to ask about the Kentucky Ag Tag Program when you renew your license plate and how to make your $10 donation in support of the youth in your community.
The Ag Tag Program is supported by the Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture, Jonathan Shell. The money raised by the program is evenly split between Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and Kentucky Proud, which promotes agricultural products raised, grown, or processed in Kentucky by Kentuckians. We thank our farmers for their continued support!
DEMONSTRATION CONTEST
Our 4-H Demonstrations Contest will be held at the Daviess County Extension Office Monday, April 21 starting at 4:00 pm. A demonstration is a method used to communicate an idea by showing and telling. Demonstrations should be 5-15 minutes long for both junior and senior 4-H members. Visual aids are used to enhance the presentation. More information is available on our website. Registration is due: March 7.

KENTUCKY FARM BUREAU INSTITUTE
Kentucky Farm Bureau has invested in our state’s youth for thirty-eight years through the Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders (IFAL) Program. IFAL is a unique five-day summer leadership conference that exposes students to college life and explores different fields of study for careers in agriculture. IFAL allows high school juniors to choose between separate conferences at two of Kentucky’s premier universities. This year’s IFAL conferences will take place June 15-19, 2025, at Murray State University and June 22-26, 2025, at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
The IFAL program helps students become familiar with Farm Bureau, promote agricultural-related career choices, provide leadership development opportunities, and promote each participating university.
Additional information about the program and a link to the application can be found online at kyfb.com/IFAL.
Complete applications must be submitted by Tuesday, April1, 2025 to be considered.
