Livestock judging is back! For the\u00a0first time in a long time Maine 4-H is sending a livestock judging team to The Big E and we want you to be a part of it! Tryouts for the team will take place at The Cross Insurance Center on May 2nd in partnership with the FFA Livestock Judging Contest. In order to be eligible for the Eastern States team 4-H members must be at least 12 years old by December 31, 2025 and have completed one year in 4-H.

Who:<\/strong>\u00a0This program is for all Maine youth ages 13-18.<\/p>\n What:\u00a0<\/strong>Maine 4-H is launching a new session cohort for interested eligible youth for the Maine 4-H Agricultural Ambassadors program!\u00a0 The program is designed for youth ages 13-18 who are interested in any aspect of agriculture.\u00a0 Youth spend time getting to know each other and learn both online and in-person in sessions facilitated by UMaine 4-H Staff and community partners. Sessions will focus on career exploration, exploring the Maine Food System with farm and production visits around the state, and building relationships with industry professionals.<\/p>\n This season we will visit local Maine Ag businesses like Libby Maple, Yeti Ridge Farm and more. Transportation assistance for these events may be available upon request.<\/p>\n In addition to the multi-week session, youth will serve in their ambassador role for at least 1 year. Youth will pick an agricultural area to focus on (ex. livestock, ag literacy\/food systems, environmental stewardship, Ag and health) during their term and explore leadership opportunities locally, statewide, and even nationally.<\/p>\n Transportation assistance may be available upon request.<\/p>\n When:<\/b><\/p>\n How:\u00a0<\/b>Interested in joining?\u00a0Register below.<\/p>\n Current 4-H members can\u00a0REGISTER HERE<\/a>.
