Ida County Farm Bureau Board Donates $1,600 to Support 4-H Member Dues
The Ida County Farm Bureau Board of Directors has stepped up to support local youth by donating $1,600 to help offset the cost of 4-H member dues. This generous contribution will assist families in making 4-H participation more affordable, ensuring that more young people can take advantage of the educational and leadership opportunities the program provides.
The donation reflects the board’s commitment to investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders. By reducing financial barriers, the Farm Bureau hopes to encourage continued involvement in 4-H, a program that teaches valuable life skills, fosters community engagement, and promotes agricultural education.
“Supporting 4-H is an investment in our future,” said Outreach Coordinator Danika Hinkeldey. “These kids are learning responsibility, leadership, and the importance of agriculture—all values that strengthen our community.”
The funds will go directly toward covering membership dues for local 4-H participants, helping families manage costs and allowing youth to focus on their projects and growth within the program.
