significant impact in our state.
Their activities include: the Woodbury County 4-H Program to empower
youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with
caring adults, Community and Economic

and social community improvements, a Food Security Program which
works to ensure the long term profitability of Iowa agricultural producers
and increasing production capacity of the agricultural sector while
protecting natural resources, Food Safety and Nutrition Courses which
