Reaching the Next Generation Through Fun and Interactive Activities

Youth are an important audience for manure management professionals - they are the next generation of producers, consumers, and scientists (in other words, you!). Fairs, 4-H events, classroom visits are just a few of the numerous opportunities every year to share what we do, educate youth, and simply interact with people. However, coming up with appropriate activities can be daunting. This webinar will share ideas and activities that have been used with youth across the country on manure, air quality, and sustainability. The range in activity complexity and experiences of the presenters will hopefully spur some creative ideas for your next event!  

An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) has been submitted.

Presenters include:
  • Tommy Bass, Montana State University
  • Al Heber, Purdue University
  • Rick Fields, University of Arkansas-Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service
  • Ron Birkenholz, Iowa Pork Producers Association
