Hunting Season always brings an unique break for me from the daily hustle of the magazine and ranch. The good Lord has provided us with the many blessings, but the outdoors of hunting, farming and ranching has to be one of our greatest blessings. Don't get me wrong. I love stock shows and that niche in the ag industry, but the sounds of the morning wind, the howl of the coyote, and the sound of a flock of geese flying by does something for my soul!

Oh, I know that this time of year is just the start of what could be a long, cold, hard, no hay, winter, but for now, the solitude of the deer blind and the amazement of the bird dog working back and forth are good medicine.

Enjoy the Holidays. The spring show season is not long away.

The Oklahoma City State Fair and the Tulsa State Fair Crop Sweepstakes trophies hold a legacy of hard work and dedication to FFA that will forever be remembered and respected by anyone who tries to take home the awards.

Agriculture educators across Okla homa contributed or donated money to have the crop's sweepstakes trophies made in memory of Loyd Fletcher.

Mr. Fletcher taught at Guthrie for five years and then taught at Mangum for 19 years where under the guidance and leadership

of Fletcher, the Mangum FFA chapter won the sweepstakes in Crop Exhibits at the Oklahoma State Fair for 13 consecutive years. He also won the sweepstakes at Tulsa State Fair for 12 consecutive years before his passing in January of 1998.

“Any kid can participate in the crops contest and help their school in bring ing home the trophy. I love it because the older kids get a chance to teach the younger kids that are just starting ag, and they get to mentor them when trying to bring home the sweepstakes trophy,”

Mr. Mitchell, Canton ag teacher, said.

Since Mr. Fletcher’s passing, three schools have won the crops sweepstakes trophies; Mangum, Granite, and Canton.

Mangum had a winning streak at both state fairs for 29 years before Granite could steal the trophies for two years. Canton then won both the sweepstakes trophies in 2018 and has been able to keep them as of 2022.

This year the stakes were high, and many FFA chapters were chasing the crop's sweepstakes trophies at both fairs.

By Todd Branson, Canadian County Ex tension Educator, 4-H Youth Development

Canadian County 4-H Club Officers embarked on a new tradition on Saturday, Oct, 8, at the Canadian Valley Technology Center in Chickasha, Oklahoma, at the

2022 Canadian County 4-H Leadership Summit.

The one-day summit included a morning of low ropes team building activities and an afternoon of learning about the different club officers, how to run meetings, handle motions and properly take minutes for effective 4-H meetings.

Monumental to the day’s activi ties, all elected local 4-H club officers invited to the summit participated alongside the Canadian County 4-H Officer Team, totaling 18 club offi cers representing nearly 10 Canadian County traditional 4-H clubs. This collaborative effort introduced the varying officer roles and addressed the specific differences each club may encounter as they gain experience as a club officer. The county officer team also learned about some of the chal lenges other clubs may be facing.

4-H Extension Educator Todd Branson firmly believes clearly defined officer boundaries and an understanding of a meeting’s structure is critical when asking new leaders to perform their duties. “When anyone

mentions Robert’s Rules of Order, it can be intimidating. By approaching officer roles in terms of being part of a leadership team, we were able to release the pressure of ‘following the rules’ and focus more on how their individual job was paramount to the team’s success.”

Branson also believes connecting leaders across the county with similar duties is a great way for our seasoned county leadership team to encourage their local club counterparts who might be first-time officers. “When seasoned and new secretaries (for ex ample) visit together, they learn two things: one, they aren’t the only sec retary in Canadian County, and two, is there a better way to do my job? Or even better, is there a way I can show other secretaries how I do my job in hopes to help them improve? Those dynamics are far superior to any handout or lecture.”

The day included an invitation to join the newly-developed Cana dian County 4-H Leadership Team Google Classroom. This ungraded, virtual classroom environment is a one-stop resource for officers to store their meeting agendas, store meeting minutes and to stay current with their club’s committee work.

This virtual resource also acts as a hub for officers to ask questions about their officer position to Cana dian County 4-H Staff (the teacher), download help guides (displayed as homework assignments) and maintain a calendar of important events (to manage due dates).

Additionally, local club reporters joined Canadian County’s Canva 4-H Reporter Team. Canva is an online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.

Canadian County 4-H intends to let local 4-H club reporters develop digital scrapbooks, design custom marketing collateral, and to learn more about pub lishing from a broader perspective.

On Thursday, Oct. 27, a group of SWOSU Collegiate Farm Bureau members went to visit SS Farms near Hydro, Oklahoma to look at their very unique crop. SS Farms is known for their hot chili peppers.

While there Dean Smith took the

students on a tour of his facilities and the students learned more about what role SS Farms plays in agriculture.

SS Farms is one of the only chili farms that is located in Oklahoma. The chilis they harvest are used not only for consumption but also for

pharmaceutical needs.

SWOSU Collegiate Farm Bureau is extremely thankful for SS Farms and Dean Smith for allowing them to tour their amazing facility and teach us about their business.

During this time of year, we focus on what's good in our lives and are thankful for the things we have. The Oklahoma 4-H state council wanted to recognize a few of the people or things that they are most thankful for.

I am thankful for my mom and dad who showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to. They push me to set big goals and stretch myself to achieve them. I am also thankful for the friends I have gained through 4-H that have stuck with me through thick and thin. I have been blessed to be involved in two youth organizations that have pushed me to meet new people and build friendships. —Kaylee

Junghanns

In my 4-H career, there are several people I am thankful for, from my parents to my amazing leaders and educators. However, the one person I am truly thank ful for making an impact on my journey is Liz Chambers. Serving on the state council last year as she was president grew our friendship into one that I will cherish forever. She taught me to work hard, no matter what others may think, and she is always there when times are tough. —Colton Tripp

As I reflect on this year, there are many things and people that I am thankful for. I am extremely grateful for my opportu nity to grow and learn through the 4-H program. And while 4-H is something incredibly important to me, I wouldn't be where I am today without my incredible support system and family. My parents, siblings and 4-H educator are the ones who truly stayed by my side and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and reach for the stars. —Clarissa Smith

This year I’m so thankful for the opportunities to build and grow friend ships offered through 4-H. Whether that be through connecting through leader ship teams or spending time together at camps and on trips, the relationships that I have built through the 4-H program are what fuels and inspire me to continue to pursue greatness in 4-H. These are

friendships that will last me a lifetime. —Isaac Ochsner

Throughout my 4-H career, I have been so fortunate to have such an encour aging group of people who have helped me grow into the person I am today. My family and educator have always been such incredible sources of encouragement to me throughout my life. They have helped me realize how important it is to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. —Abby Logan

As I look at my 4-H career, I have been lucky enough to have an amaz ing support group behind me. To start, my parents taught me to always set big goals and to achieve them even when I feel like giving up. The second person who I am most thankful for is my ex tension educator, Kimbreley Davis. Not only has she taught me life skills that I will carry with me throughout my life. —Kynleigh Henson

Throughout my years in 4-H, I am most thankful for my parents and my ed ucator. My parents have been some of my biggest supporters. They have supported me and never gave up on me. I am also thankful for my educator, Kim. I have been blessed to have one of the greatest role models and best friends that a 4-Her could ask for. Kim never fails to make me a better version of myself each day.

She has taught me how to be a better leader and an inspiration to younger 4-H members. She strives each day to ensure that we are accomplishing our goals. —Dylan Simon

As a 4-H'er and someone who comes from a big loving family, I have so much to be thankful for. One of the things I'm thankful for is definitely my parents. They've taught me so much. They have created such a safe loving environment, and they've sacrificed so much for my siblings and me. —Violet Spencer

Throughout my time in 4-H, there have been many people and opportunities for which I have been very thankful. However, there is one person that stands out to me the most overall and that is my club leader, Sheryl Moore. She has always pushed me to do my best and encouraged me to never give up, no matter how hard it gets. Sheryl has al ways taught me to carry myself with poise but also to not take everything so seriously. —Jenessa Dugger

Finally, remember to be thankful for everything just as the Oklahoma 4-H state council is so grateful for all the educators, volunteers and members. Now, as we continue into the season of giving and the new year, think of new ways to give back and help in your community to show your support.

For the two weekends, Piedmont FFA participated in their first commu nity service event at the Oklahoma State Fair. A total of 39 students participated in volunteering and served for a total of 15 hours!

FFA students volunteered their time at AgTropolis in the 4H/FFA Building at the State Fair. We had a total of three groups with students in 8th-12th grade participating and each shift lasting five hours.

Our first group went on Thursday, the opening day of the State Fair while the other two groups went on each Sunday of the fair.

In AgTropolis, students were able to help educate children about Agriculture with lots of fun, hands-on activities for the kids to participate in! Not only did students help teach kids about agricul ture, but our students even learned more about agriculture themselves!

AgTropolis was the first of many community service events our chapter plans to participate in, and we loved it and can not wait for our next one very soon!

Ag Youth Magazine - Braggin’ on Kids for 35 Years!

Hey Guys! It's me, Trenton! I didn't make opening morning of deer season because of a junior high basketball game. But, by Saturday afternoon, Papa and I were out in the field in our deer stands.

Why do I love deer season so much? Let me tell you about my view from my stand. I can see a wheat field and lots of cedar trees. The birds are chirping on this beautiful, cold evening. My blind is setting looking east over and above the field.

We call this "The Orginal Food Plot." It's nothing fancy and the blind is made of four pallets and four t-posts. The two old, metal folding chairs are the greatest. We can hunt it in a north or south wind. We have never been snorted unless the wind is out of the west. That's bad.

It's 4:00 p.m. and the sun is starting to set as the first deer we see is a nice 8-point that would score about a high 130.

If I didn't have all week to hunt, I would have harvested him. It tested my patience. It was a hard pass. He stayed on the field for about an hour as another buck and six does joined him.

Watching them react to other deer is my favorite. They were there all evening. It made the time pass quickly.

I like duck hunting more because it's quick and I get in a rythm. Action packed. But the down part is that deer meat is by far better to eat. Even Papa's duck jerky is a challenge; whereas, his deer is to die for.

I wish every day I could be in the field and NOT in school. The chairs in school hurt my butt; whereas, the old metal chairs in my blind are good. I think it might just be my attitude at the time.

Here's an important hunting tip I just learned from personal experience. My friend Grady and I brought our duck calls to school. Don't do this. The principal did respond, and we did survive. Also, the girls didn't really care about the calls. Oh, well.

Time to put a trophy in the truck! Pics in January. See you down the road. Stay True & Stay Huntin'!

On October 20, Chouteau Elementary Students engaged in an interactive hands on Farm 2 School Learning Activity. Each elementary student rotated through 5 stations where they learned about the heart of agriculture and truly embraced how food gets from farm to table.

The Chouteau FFA Chapter worked in collaboration with the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Oklahoma Ag In the Classroom, Chouteau Public Schools Nutritionist, and Friendly Farms Farms Mobile Petting Zoo.

Each elementary student spent 15 minutes touring all five of the stations. They made butter, created bracelets that symbolized the life cycle of agricultural crops, toured the petting zoo, and made “Veggie Trains”, watched an interactive presentation from Oklahoma Farm Bureau about how food gets from farm to table.

When asked why she loves Farm to School Day, Chou teau FFA member Chesney Inglett said “It is important to educate the youth about where food comes from and all of the entities that work together to make our food what it is.”

Connor McNeer Chouteau FFA Vice President mentioned that “Farm to School day is imperative in regards to teaching the next generation about the food and products that come

from agriculture”

Farm to school day is a time-honored event that has been put on for many years. This year the Chouteau FFA chapter was given the opportunity to host the event. This allowed our FFA members to step into their role as leaders and ambassadors for agriculture. “It's important to give our officers the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students.” said FFA advisor Mr. Adkinson.

Oklahoma 4-H held West District Leadership Con ference in Enid, October 10-13. Over 160 Oklahoma 4-H members from the West District gathered to form friend ships, learn, serve and elect a leadership team.

Ice breaker activities had all the delegates laughing and enjoying the camaraderie. Community service project of lighting the downtown community was led by the Enid Chamber of Commerce. All the participants enjoyed ax throwing at Enid Axe.

Workshops were presented by Dylan Simon and Kynleigh Henson, Shelby Kelsey, Brance Barnett, Rebec ca Morrison and Kaylee Junghanns, and Megan Mitchell. Wednesday night concluded with all officer candidates giving their political speeches and a dance.

Thursday started with each delegate casting their votes, followed by an inspiring speech and fun activity by Rhett Laubach. OSU Spirit Rider Kelly Barnes gave an amazing speech during our formal banquet. The food was good and the friendships were better. Runoff elections were announced. And the dancing commenced.

Friday morning, we had a special guest and keynote speaker, Natalie Church who told us to reach for the stars in her speech about “Dreams.”

The new officer team was also announced on Friday. The South Region of the West District 2022-2023 officer team includes Shelby Kelsey, president; Megan Mitchell, vice president; Lily Nease, secretary; Brance Barnett, reporter; and Jayci Fenhaus, recreation leader. We look forward to serving Oklahoma West District 4-H.

Students from Oklahoma School for the Blind and Con nors State College Students, plus some Haskell FFA mem bers — displayed all sorts of teamwork on a hot Wednesday in September during Western Heritage Day at Silver Spur Western Lodge. The annual visit teams OSB students with Connors State College students and Haskell FFA members for a day of pony rides, horseback rides, fishing, rock climbing and other types of outdoor fun.

OSB High School Principal Lynn Cragg said this is the students' first visit to the lodge since 2019, the autumn before the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The kids are very excited, and the staff are excited, too," she said.

OSB Elementary Principal Shawna Coplen said 82 OSB students, plus almost as many staff members, came on Wednesday. She said the students thrive on the visits.

"A lot of our students never get an experience with a horse or get to ride on a horse or see a stagecoach or fish," Coplen said. "The activities they provide, some of our kids may never get to experience if it weren't for this. It provides a good social environment for them to talk to people they don't know, the college students they're buddied with. It helps their social skills and conversation skills."

Connors sophomore Allie Blagg from Talihina, said she had a lot of fun with her OSB buddy Shae McGuire.

"We rode a pony, we rode a wagon. We milked a goat. She milked him and fed him, too," Blagg said. "She's over here fishing, now."

Shae, a third-grader, said she liked milking the goat best.

Oklahoma Quarterhorse Association Past President Sharon Breeding said OQHA has hosted OSB's Western Heritage

Days nearly each year since 2006.

"They're in another world for a day," Breeding said. "Each one has a person with them. It's a day of independence."

OSB seventh grader Genevieve Fitzgerald of Claremore showed a little timidity riding a pony, especially when the horse sneezed.

After a few times around the circle, Genevieve rode with more confidence.

"I just became braver," she said.

Sixth grader Braylen Fuller showed confidence while back flipping over a trampoline.

"It was just amazing," he said

Connors State College brought 77 students from their Agriculture Division and Presidents Leadership Class to assist with the festivities. Members of the colleges Ag Ambassadors, Shotgun Shooting Team, Archery, Rodeo, Livestock Judging and Livestock Show Team all assisted with the day. Connors also provided the animals for the petting zoo. Haskell FFA provided the pens.

In addition to the contribution by Connors State College students and Haskell FFA, the event was title sponsored and hosted by the Oklahoma Quarter horse Association.

Amber-Pocasset FFA livestock judging team won runner-up honors at the American Royal contest in Kansas City. The team won 2nd place honors in beef, sheep/goats, reasons, and third in swine.

On Nov. 6, Konawa 4-H met at the Konawa cemeteries. To honor our Vet erans, we placed flags on their graves. We appreciate the opportunity we were given in doing this. We would like to thank Marion Hatter and the American

Legion and Konawa Lyons club for sup plying the flags.

And thank you to our Veterans, those still with us and those who have passed. We appreciate your service.

Second graders at Latta traveled to the Ag Building to learn about staying safe in the event of a fire. Latta FFA partnered with the Latta Fire and Safety class to demonstrate techniques that can prevent injuries, and help the kids keep themselves, and others safe.

After learning about checking doors, stopping, dropping, and rolling, as well as how to put on firefighting gear, the kids got to your a fire truck.

One student said, “ I thought the fire truck was really cool, but it was kinda hot in there.”

Oologah 4-H Club

Oologah 4-H Members visited homes of veterans from the Oologah Senior Citizen Center to share their respect and

thankfulness for their time of service. Members gave them a picture they col ored, and read a poem called "Veteran's Day" by Cheryl Dyson. Thank you, Vet erans, for your service to our country!

Another said, “ I thought it was really cool to see everything because my dad is a fireman!”

Latta FFA and Fire and Safety had a great time putting on this event for the Latta second graders!

Ellis County Free Fair

By Bexlei Good, Fargo-Gage FFA Chapter Reporter

Fargo-Gage FFA has hit the ground running this school year. The Ellis County Free Fair is held each year during the first weekend after Labor Day in September. Our FFA Chapter had 100% participation from our mem bers with most of the entries which ranged from ag me chanics projects to Plant Life Cycle Posters. We brought home a lot of ribbons!

Ellis Country Free Fair also hosted a livestock judg ing contest. Fargo FFA had 15 students participate. Our Senior FFA team—Kinsley Schneider, Jake Tapia, Bexlei Good and Allyson Navarro—was the first. Jake Tapia was 2nd high individual and Kinsley Schneider was 3rd high individual. Weston Schneider was 1st high individual in the junior FFA division.

Our Junior FFA #1 team;—Cristina Morente, Alexis Morris, Autumn Waggoner and Ingrid Zetino, placed 2nd and Weston Schneider—was 1st high individual in Junior FFA.

For some of our kids this was their first time to judge livestock, so this is the perfect place for them to get try out the livestock judging contest. It’s a smaller judging contest and gives them a chance to participate while learn ing what they need to look for in the animals for when we go to big livestock judging contests, such as Big 3 Field Days in Stillwater.

Mulhall-Orlando FFA Goes to Indianapolis

By Lora Golay, Mulhall-Orlando FFA Reporter

On Wednesday, Oct. 26, five out of six Mulhall-Orlan do FFA chapter officers began the long journey to India napolis, Indiana, for the 95th National FFA Convention and Expo. The National FFA Convention and Expo is a four-day event that takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana every October. It is the largest annual gathering of stu dents and provides numerous opportunities to explore educational and career paths at the expo. This year more than 67,000 members from across the nation attended.

After a few hours on the road, officers Casyn Larman, Hanna Schmidt, Willie Schoonover, Lora Golay, Kaylee Blagden, and advisor Tonya Middleton stopped in St. Louis, Missouri, to visit the St. Louis Union Station and to see the Gateway Arch. After arriving late at night in Indianapolis and a good rest, the officers attended the first three general sessions of convention on Thursday. The Mulhall-Orlando FFA Chapter received the Three Star Chapter Award during the second general session. Officers also had the chance to explore the expo and visit with Oklahoma FFA state officers.

Friday morning the group attended the fourth gen eral session of convention in which Jeremy Schmidt, a member of the community, ag teacher, and FFA advi sor, received the Honorary American FFA Degree. This highly-coveted award is only rewarded to individuals who have given outstanding service on a national level to agri cultural education and the FFA, and it is the highest honor an FFA member can receive.

For the rest of the day, the chapter officers explored Indianapolis, visiting sights such as the National FFA Center and the NCAA Hall of Champions.

Finally, the crew of officers began their journey home early Saturday morning and arrived home that afternoon.

“It was an amazing experience that I will never forget,” Kaylee Blagden said when asked about her first trip to In dianapolis.

Shattuck FFA

By Ezabela Herber, Shattuck FFA Reporter

Officers of the Shattuck FFA chap ter participated in the 2022 Oklahoma FFA Chapter Officer Leadership Training Conference Sept. 27 at the Enid Events Center in Enid, Oklahoma. The eight State FFA officers planned and conduct ed this year’s conference based on the theme, “Ready, Set, Go!” Elected officers from each of the 62 high school FFA chapters in the Northwest area attended the conference.

Sarah Edsall, Lomega, Oklahoma, was the keynote speaker for the confer ence. She is an accomplished profes sional speaker, and served Oklahoma FFA as southwest district vice president in 2008-2009.

"We live in a constantly evolving and ever-changing society," said Braden Burns, state FFA president. "If the next generation is going to lead in a world far from fixed and certain, they must focus on what will come next in their journey.

The officer team is excited to bring back the skills learned and implement them in the chapter.

Stigler FFA Treasurer Jordyn Cantrell said, “The best leaders grow the best relationships.”

There are five different COLT Con

ferences for each region. At the confer ence, the motivational speaker spoke about how being a leader is about putting others first.”

In total, there were 468 FFA mem bers present at the SE Colt Conference and 78 different chapters in our region.

That was part of the inspiration behind our COLT Conference theme, "Ready, Set, Go!" Much like a NASCAR driver looking for his next opportunity to pull into the lead, this year's conference is focused on training leaders to look ahead to what's next; the twist, the turns, and the opportunities."

Shattuck FFA was recognized at the conference for receiving of the 2022 Devon and Ovintiv Technology and In

novation Grant. Also, Shattuck Officer Abbey Elam was chosen by the State FFA Officer Team to serve as the NW Area COLT Conference President.

Officers attending from the Shattuck FFA chapter were as follows: Sydney Melton, president; Sadey Schoenhals, vice president; Olivia Quisenberry, secretary; Allyn Goodson, treasurer; Ezabela Her ber, reporter; Jadyn Washmon, sentinel; Annie Abbey and Chris Kelln, advisors.

Miami FFA Recognized at the National FFA Convention

Members from the Miami FFA chapter attended the 95th National FFA Convention on October 25-26 in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

During the convention, students were able to tour the career fair where over 300 different booths were set up for students to explore different colleges and discover agricultural careers. Members were also given the opportunity to at tend student workshops that encouraged the development of leadership, personal growth, and career success. FFA mem bers listened to keynote speakers that motivated them to believe in themselves and live a life of boldness.

In addition to the remarkable keynote speakers, student workshops, and career fair students also visited the Wonders of Wildlife in Springfield, Missouri, and the Beasley's Orchard. Through these activities, students learned about crop production and the importance of wildlife conservation.

During the convention, Miami FFA was recognized in front of more than 60,000 members, parents, and advis ers from across the nation. Miami was awarded the National 3-star Chapter and Model of Excellence award for exhibiting qualities in categories such as growing leaders, strengthening agriculture, and building communities.

During the convention, students were able to tour the career fair where over 300 dif ferent booths were set up for students to explore different colleges and discover agri cultural careers.

The Miami FFA would like to sin cerely thank Miami Public School Su perintendent, Mr. Highsmith, and High School Principal, Mr. Baldridge for at tending the National FFA Convention and supporting the chapter. The program is also incredibly thankful for the over

whelming support from the administration team, staff, and community members that joined the convention virtually and witnessed Miami FFA being recognized as a National 3-Star Chapter and Model of Excellence program, which ranks this program as a top ten chapter in the nation.

Ali Bowman, Glencoe, Oklaho ma, has been selected as the 20222023 Oklahoma Dairy Ambassador. She is a Junior at Oklahoma State University, majoring in Animal Science with a focus in Livestock Merchandising.

"It was a privilege to travel to In dianapolis with MHS Principal, Mr. Baldridge, to watch the Miami FFA re ceive their awards on the national stage. I could not be more proud of the students and our fantastic advisors, Mr. and Mrs. Bergman. The work that has been done in the last 18 months to turn around the program is astounding. I personally look forward to watching our students and advisors continue to reach new heights."

Nicholas Highsmith, Miami Superinten dent of Schools.

“My favorite part of the national convention was getting to interact with members that share the same love and passion for this amazing organization.”

Shattuck Receives $5,000 Bayer Fund Donation

By Ezabela Herber, Shattuck FFA Reporter

Farmers, Dale and Carol DeWitt, recently directed a $5,000 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to Shattuck FFA. We will use the funds for various chapter projects.

“Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt may not live in Shattuck, but they are some of our greatest supporters,”said Sydney Melton, Shattuck FFA president. “Of course it helps that the DeWitt’s daughter is Mrs. Holt, our Elementary Principal, their grand daughter, is Ms. Holt, one of our middle school teachers, and their grandson Bryan is a Shattuck FFA freshman.” Melton goes on to say, “We couldn’t have been more honored when the DeWitt’s contacted us about this donation.”

In 2022, Bayer Fund revamped America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, making it easier for farmers across the country to find and fund the organizations and institutions that keep their communities thriving. This included doubling the individual donations to $5,000, up from $2,500 in previous years to provide a greater impact to local rural comunities.

For more than a decade, Grow Communities has partnered with farmers to direct funds to programs and organizations that contribute to their communities’ health and vibrancy, such as food banks, schools and youth agriculture programs. Since the America’s Farmers programs began in 2010, the initiatives have awarded nearly $65 million to such programs.

Farmers can enroll for the opportunity to direct a 2023 Grow Communities donation starting on August 1, 2022. To learn more about the enrollment process and how Ameri ca’s Farmers programs are making an impact, visit www. Americasfarmers.com.

Red Carpet Classic Special Needs Livestock Show

By Bexlei Good, Fargo-Gage FFA Reporter

The 6th Annual Red Carpet Classic Special Needs Live stock Show was held Septermber 14 at the Dewey Country Fair Grounds in Taloga. This livestock show is special as it gives students with special needs the opportunity to experi ence the thrill of getting to show livestock in is a comfortable environment free of judgment. This allows them the same opportunities as everyone else.

The participants were able to select the animal they wanted to show and lead them in to the show ring where they talked to the judge about their animal. Our kids had a great time being able to show and name the animal that they chose. All of them said they would go back next year to do it again. Fargo-Gage was able to take three showman and three volunteers to the show.
