(Indianapolis, IN) – Indiana Farm Bureau (INFB) has awarded funding to 10 4-H or FFA programs around the state through its Ag Literacy Challenge Grant program.
One of the recipients is Franklin County 4-H and its POULT Program.
This program educates youth on turkey production from farm to fork. Participating classrooms will hatch their own poults to get hands-on experience, with a goal of increasing awareness and understanding of the turkey industry.
“Congratulations to our Ag Literacy Challenge Grant winners,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “FFA and 4-H are integral to ag education and providing our youth with leadership development opportunities. I look forward to seeing these programs thrive. They showcase Indiana agriculture and spread awareness of the importance of our industry.”
Indiana FFA chapters and 4-H clubs could apply for grants of up to $1,000 during the grant cycle. Grant recipients are required to submit a report to INFB after their ag literacy program is complete in addition to presenting their program to their local county Farm Bureau.
