At the webpage, you can also find an educational verification form. Complete the form and turn it into your county fair and/or livestock committee to verify your participation. These activities can serve as “county education requirements.”
The sessions will provide awareness and knowledge of animal agriculture and will give you the details on careers and how this area connects with your animal project.
