Program resources
We have project resource books available at the Extension Office. These resources will guide you through beginning a new project and can help you further develop and elevate current projects. Animal Science books were updated in 2018. We have created a "library" for our resources: https://z.umn.edu/projectresources Please explore the library and, if you would like to explore a resource, contact the office to check out the resource or we will scan and email the resources to you so that you can make use of them. If you are interested in additional resources, please check out the 4-H Mall https://z.umn.edu/shop4H
