FSA is proud to invest in the future of agriculture by offering Youth Loans to help our future farmers and ranchers finance and gain hands-on experience managing an income producing agricultural project.

To apply, you must be 10 to 20 years old and have the support of a project advisor like your 4-H club leader or FFA advisor.

Loan funds can be used to buy livestock, seed, equipment, and supplies or to purchase, rent or repair tools and equipment or pay operating expenses for the project. fsa.usda.gov/resources/loans/youth-loans

We’re excited to officially announce our 2026 Monroe County 4-H Livestock Judges for this year’s Monroe County Fair! 🏆
🐄🐖🐑🐐🐇🐓🐎 🐦🐮
Please join us in welcoming the individuals who will help make fair week a success by evaluating the hard work, dedication, growth, and showmanship of our 4-H youth exhibitors.
A huge thank you to each of these judges for sharing their time, knowledge, and experience with Monroe County 4-H. Be sure to thank them when you see them at the fair! 🎡🌽

These 14 counselors completed their final Monroe County 4-H Camp as youth members this week, and saying we will miss them feels like an understatement.
Their dedication to younger 4-H’ers has been nothing short of remarkable. It showed in their countless hours of preparation, their positive attitudes, their steady leadership, and the care, excitement, and attention they gave to every camper. They helped create a camp environment rooted in belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity — the essential elements that help young people thrive.
Throughout the week, these counselors did more than lead activities. They created sparks for campers, encouraged confidence, modeled responsibility, and reminded us what youth leadership can look like at its very best.
Each senior had the opportunity to share a vesper and goodbye message on Tuesday evening, then share their future plans during closing ceremonies on Wednesday. It is safe to say that this group already carries incredible wisdom, compassion, and purpose — and they are launching into the world with very bright futures ahead.
Congratulations to our Monroe County 4-H Camp Counselor Class of 2026. Thank you for leading with your heads, hearts, hands, and health. You have made the best better, and you will always be part of our 4-H camp family.

Thank you
