Chester Co. Extension Agent
Summertime & 4-H
Dairy Projects
During the summer I spend
more time working with 4-H
youth than any other time during
the year. It is one of the more en
joyable aspects of being a county
agent '
Watching youth develop from
8-year-olds who are bug-eyed and
a little scared at their first show to
mature 19-year-olds who are
quality show people and leaders in
their 4-H clubs and other activi
ties, is truly a rewarding experi
ence.
How does this happen?

First and most important is the
role volunteer leaden play in the
process.
Having been a 4-H leader my
self when I farmed, I know how
much work and education is re
quired to operate a successful pro
gram.
A leader must be to the 4-H
member an educator, an idea per
son, a friend, a motivator, and or
ganizer and, at times, a disciplin
arian. Sort of sounds like a good
mom or pop figure.
There is no question that volun
teer leaders need a pat on the back
from all of us. The reason for the
success of the 4-H dairy and 4-H
dairy goat programs in Chester
County is the excellent leadership
PPS
supplied by the volunteer leaden.
Secondly, you need projects
that are fun to do and yet chal
lenge the young people.
4-H meets this criteria with
such a broad range of skills that
there is a project to suit anyone's
interest In 4-H dairy, there are a
variety of topics to learn—fitting
and showing animals, record
keeping, judging and dairy bowl
teams, management skills, etc.
Besides dairy projects, they can
branch out to other projects such
as photography, crafts, shooting
sports, vet science, and a host of
other activities.
Some of these skills are carried
over to adult life for those choos
ing a career in agriculture, while
others teach self-discipline, good
work habits and the use of the
mind to solve problems traits
essential for any career.
Encouraging young people lo
get on their feet and speak to their
peers at a meeting is an experience
that will aid them in future endea
vors. Leadership has to be practic
ed to improve, and leaders need to
motivate their members to keep
trying to get better.
.The results of the Chester
County 4-H shows have been re
ported in this newspaper, and
there will be an awards banquet in
early November to honor mem
bers, not only on their show re
cord, but onr their project books
and their cows production records.
