🌱 AG & FARM BUSINESSES — WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! 🌱

Our annual 4-H Special Section is coming up, and we want to make sure we can continue giving our local 4-H kids a section they look forward to every year. 💚

The kids LOVE having this special tabloid to put in their 4-H folders, and families enjoy keeping it as a keepsake celebrating their hard work and accomplishments.

To keep publishing this special section, we need the support of our local agricultural and farm businesses through advertising.

If you own or know someone who owns:
🐄 A farm or ranch
🌾 An agricultural business
🐖 A livestock-related business
🚜 An equipment or feed business
🌱 Or any business that supports our local ag community

Please consider advertising in our 4-H Special Section — and please SHARE this post!

Your support helps us continue celebrating the young people who are working hard, learning valuable skills and carrying on our agricultural traditions. 💚

📅 Advertising Deadline: October 2
📰 4-H Section Publishes: October
For advertising information, contact Christy Lopez

Let’s keep this special section going for our 4-H kids! 💚🐄🌾
