I am so thrilled to be able to meet many of you this summer and help out with all of the summer 4-H projects! So you get to know me a bit better, I would like to share a few tidbits about myself. As a senior at the University of Wisconsin- River Falls, I am an agricultural education major. After I student teach in the fall of 2014, I hope to be an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor in a Wisconsin school district or an extension agent working with youth development in Wisconsin. I love landscaping and creating floral designs as hobbies, and plan to also own and operate my own floral shop in the future. Native to Northeastern, Wisconsin, I am originally from Winneconne, Wisconsin. Growing up, I and my family of eight lived on a 60 cow dairy farm. For thirteen years I was a member of the Westward 4-H Club in Winnebago County, and did everything the 4-H could offer me! From sewing and family living to vegetables and rabbits and traveling to serving as an officer, me and my family were apart of just about every project and event in 4-H. Because my siblings and I were highly active in both FFA and 4-H, we were able to show dairy at the county fair. Though county fair is one of my favorite experiences as a 4-H member, some of my other favorite 4-H memories include traveling to Colorado, Kansas, Ohio, and Montana through our county 4-H interstate exchange program and the many summers spent at Upham Woods at 4-H camp. This summer is going to be jam packed with so much excitement, I can’t wait to start! As you’re out and about at 4-H events this summer, feel free to stop by and introduce yourself. I can’t wait to meet you all and see all the great things that St. Croix County has to offer. See you this summer! Congratulations High School Graduates Congratulations to all the High School Graduates Class of 2013!!!! Good luck in your future endeavors. Remember if you want to be in 4-H next year, you need to re-enroll by November 15.

Please remember to include your premise ID number on your fair entry form. Biosecurity and Your Pig Project Even if it’s only one horse or one chicken, 4-H members who raise and show livestock are subject to the rules about “premise registration.” The Wisconsin Premises Registration Act requires anyone who keeps, houses, or co-mingles livestock to register their premises effective November 1, 2005. Those premises currently licensed by the Department must register as part of their annual license renewal date. Premises registration is not aimed solely at traditional large scale agriculture. A premise may house many animals or a single animal. It doesn’t matter if the animals are for sale or not. If they house any of the listed species they are included: Livestock as defined by the WI Premises Registration Act Rules includes: Bovine (bison, cattle) Equine (horses, donkey, mules) Goats Poultry (chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea fowl, and squab Captive game birds (pheasants, quail, wild turkeys, migratory wild fowl, pigeons, and exotic birds) Sheep Swine (other than wild hogs but including pot belly pigs) Farm raised deer (elk, moose, caribou, reindeer, and the subfamily musk deer) Camelids (llamas, alpacas) Whether you are caring for a single hog or thousands you are part of the pork industry. A healthy swine herd starts with raising healthy pigs at home. Biosecurity means reducing the chances of an infectious disease being carried onto your farm by people, animals, equipment or vehicles. Developing and following a biosecurity plan is the best way to prevent and control the spread of swine diseases! To prevent the spread of diseases, you need to understand how diseases can infect your pig. For more information about biosecurity and to have a biosecurity booklet e-mailed to you, contact Melissa at [email protected]. 8 Happenings around the State...Are you Interested?

Within each Class, there are Lot numbers. The Lot Number is a specific entry within a class. August 3, 2013; 2:00 pm Wisconsin State Fair Park Coliseum Dairyland Youth Celebration celebrates the achievements of Wisconsin State Fair junior dairy exhibitors. The event, presented by the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board, provides an exciting conclusion to one of the largest and most competitive junior dairy shows in the world. Close to 100 dairy youth are recognized during the event, and over the past five years, dairy youth supporters have raised close to $60,000 for dairy youth and dairyyouth programs in the state. Departments which are conference judged (almost all of the non-livestock departments), the Lot Number simply says “Exhibit made by Member”. The beauty of conference judging is that we don’t need to know what you are going to bring, only how many items you will bring. If you are going to bring 3 exhibits, simply write: Lot 1—Exhibit made by member Lot 2—Exhibit made by member Lot 3—Exhibit made by member St. Croix County Fair Club Leaders will collect the Fair Entries and Return to the UWEX Office by June 17.

The scrapbook will be conference judged in the Youth Leadership Dept. on Wednesday during conference judging time. A minimum of two youth from the club should be present for judging.
