Growing the Next Generation with 4-H
For more than 30 years, Farm Credit Mid-America and 4-H have partnered to empower young leaders with the tools to grow their talents, tackle community challenges, and explore diverse career paths.
4-H empowers youth to lead, drive community change, and spark ideas for a more innovative economy.
We are proud to support 4-H programs that foster career exploration in agriculture, promote agricultural innovation and enhance livestock events. Our collaboration with state and local specific initiatives underscores our commitment to empowering youth with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the agricultural sector. Through a range of dynamic programs and events, we aim to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders and innovators.
