********4-H Project Guidelines for Meigs County

General:1. A member must be enrolled in 4-H and have project selected by

2. At least one project must be completed to receive credit for a 4-H year. This can be done either by completing project judging or a completion from the member’s advisor.

a. To exhibit at the Jr. Fair and be eligible for premiums and fair pass, a project must be judged and exhibited at the Jr. Fair. A member must also be in good standing with the club and have met the meeting and attendance requirements.

3. Youth must participate in the official judging week in July to be eligible for awards or to be nominated to represent Meigs County in non-livestock portion of the Ohio State Fair. Youth with Livestock, Horse, Small Animal, and Dog projects must participate in the Livestock/Horse Skill-a-thon or Small Animal/Dog project judging to be eligible for awards. Youth in these areas must comply with State Fair requirements to participate at that level.

Youth may attend make up judging/skill-a-thon to be eligible to exhibit at the county fair and to complete the projectLivestock and Horse Projects:

1. Members with livestock or horse projects are responsible to be in compliance with the Meigs County Agricultural Livestock and Horse Rules. Copies are available on line, at the office, and will be distributed at the mandatory Quality Assurance programs. This includes completing required Quality Assurance Training by June 1st and completing the Animal Skill-a-Thons in July.

2. Youth taking a Swine Breeding project will be judged on Small Animal Day. They need to have a completed project book and an educational display. Swine breeding projects will display the poster at the fair not the hog.

3. Youth whose livestock project dies or for some other reason may not be brought to the fair, may complete the livestock skill-a-thon and display an educational display about the project to receive credit for his or her 4-H year.

4. Members wishing to exhibit at the Ohio State Fair must complete the proper entry paperwork by the June deadline. Members with a Horse project wishing to go to State Fair, must qualify at a PAS show.

Still Projects (Food and Nutrition, Misc., and Clothing):1. A project may only be taken once unless it is stated as a multiple

year project in the book. If a member enrolls in a project but does not complete it he or she may enroll in it again. In general one Grand Champion and one Reserve Champion will be selected from each project area. Age and the number of entries in a project may be used to decide to split a class for example Scrap Booking is usually divided into 2 classes by age. This will be done at the Extension Office’s discretion.

a. In the case of multiple year projects a new exhibit must be created each year and new knowledge gained must be demonstrated.

2. Projects are listed in the Family Guide as Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or All Ages. In most cases when selecting projects the member’s age and experience in an area should be taken into consideration. We want members to get the best learning experience from their projects. If what level of a project to take is in question please see the Educator so we can determine the best fit for that member. At the State Fair competition, ages are used to determine what categories a member may participate. These guidelines will be used when selecting a State Fair Nominee.

3. 4-H Projects must be original work, a science fair project for example could not also be entered as a 4-H project. A 4-H project may build from work started in another area, but it must demonstrate new knowledge gained and further work completed.

4. As much as possible project requirements will match with State Fair Requirements.

Small Animal and Dog Projects:1. Projects guidelines will follow State Fair guidelines. Classes will

be split into smaller categories by age if needed. Members may retake the same project in small animals and dogs, but new knowledge and skills must be demonstrated each year. It is recommended that different animals be used from year to year in the small animal categories.

2. Members wishing to participate in the State Fair must register by the June deadline. 4-Hers do not need to qualify at the local judging to go to State Fair, but they must be enrolled in the project at the local level to go to the State Fair.

FFAFFA is a dynamic youth organization within agricultural education that prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth and career success. The variety of activities offered by this organization leads students to over 300 career opportunities in the agricultural science, food, fiber and natural resources industry. FFA was founded in 1928 as the Future Farmers of America; however the name was changed to the National FFA Organization in 1988 to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture.

FFA is structured at the local, state and national levels. In Meigs County, this program is open to high school boys and girls enrolled in an agricultural education course at either Meigs or Southern Local Schools. Presently there are over 150 members in the two FFA programs in Meigs County. FFA is part of a larger program called agricultural education. Agricultural education works to prepare students for future careers through three integral components: Classroom/laboratory work, FFA involvement and the supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program. Each member has an individual project related to a personal topic of interest. Projects exhibited at fairs are the results of these learning activities.

Members of the organization are offered a variety of leadership opportunities through committee involvement, serving in officer roles and practicing parliamentary procedure. They are involved in the community with fundraisers, service projects and agricultural awareness programs. Students may also explore career options through business and industry tours, professional networking and by engaging in career development events

The FFA motto is: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve

FFA Project Rules: 1. Only 1 entry per person, per class. 2. All exhibits shall be correctly named and labeled. 3. All produce must be grown by the exhibitor. 4. In classes where there are 5 or more entries, the judge may award a grand or reserve champion.5. Produce must be of proper maturity and good quality.6. All general rules apply.

The value of draft animals depends upon their ability to pull and capacity to endure sustained efforts. The object of this test is to determine the sustained maximum pulling capacity of each pair. These tests will also afford valuable scientific data on the relation between form and function in draft animals and should stimulate general interest in the breeding and use of good draft horses and mules. In particular it is desired:

(a) To determine the value of type and proper breeding in the selection of horses and mules intended for long and arduous draft work.

(b) To ascertain and demonstrate the proper method of training and conditioning horses and mules for long and severe draft work. (c) To encourage horsemanship in fitting horses and in driving.

(d) To demonstrate the maximum pulling capacity of the horses and mules.The committee shall have full jurisdiction over, as well as power to decide, all questions arising in connection with the contest subject to the rules and administration as provided. They shall determine the winners and awarded prizes in accordance with the rules. Failure to comply promptly with the directions of the committee shall result in immediate disqualification of a contestant. The decision of the majority of the committee concerning any matter arising in connection with the contest shall be final. Horses or driver may be disqualified at any time by the committee either for the violation of one or more of the conditions of the contest or because the contesting team's condition is such as to render it cruel or inadvisable to permit the team to proceed further.

ELIGIBILITY: OPEN TO THE WORLD. Horses and mules, regardless of where owned, are eligible to enter this contest.

CONDITIONS- A stone boat loaded with cement blocks will be used. Owners must furnish their own feed.
