Plant Science ID Contests
In case you didn't know, there are 4-H ID contests at the State Fair (horticulture, Weed and grass, tree, and insect) where youth 10 and older can compete. Jenny has Weed books and flashcards in her office for any families who don’t have them if your youth are interested. This is the list of weeds the youth would be learning that corresponds to the book pages (1-75): https://unl.app.box.com/s/k6ghub1pgzrs1nyz8ntss1cbeh1ph4vn
If you’d like to see what a contest is like, June 27th is a free plant ID contest in Columbus at the Fairgrounds from 12:15-4 p.m. There’s no charge and carpooling could be an option. Clover kids can attend too! Our County Fair Contest day will be July 16th.
