Registration is open for the SC 4-H Wildlife Food Plot Project 🌱🦌
Ever watched a kid stare at a phone on a beautiful fall afternoon and wondered how to pull them back outside? You're not alone and it's not for lack of trying. Screens are built to win that fight.
That's exactly the gap the Wildlife Food Plot Project was built to close. Your 4-H'er plants real seed, in real dirt, tends a real plot through the seasons, and watches real wildlife show up because of work their own hands did.
We've spent years in the field with South Carolina families, blending Extension's land-grant science with 4-H's hands-on approach so this isn't just a worksheet about nature. It's an invitation into it.
By spring, your kid won't just have a record book. They'll have patience, stewardship, and a story about the deer that found their food plot first.

📍 Kickoff & Workshops: Sat, Aug 29 | Interlaken Wildlife Center, Camden, SC

National Dairy Month is here! 🥛🐄

Since 1939, National Dairy Month has encouraged families to make milk their beverage of choice because of its nutritional value. Today, we continue that tradition by celebrating the hardworking dairy farmers who provide us with nutritious dairy products every day.

Throughout the Southeast, dairy farm families open their gates to visitors, local fairs and festivals feature dairy taste-testing events, and communities come together to recognize the important role dairy plays in our lives and economy.

This June, join us in paying tribute to South Carolina's dairy farmers and the generations of families dedicated to producing safe, wholesome milk and dairy products. Be sure to check out our flyer to learn some interesting facts about South Carolina's dairy industry!

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing dairy facts, industry highlights, and fun educational information about South Carolina dairy farming, so be sure to follow along and learn something new!

Thank you to our dairy farmers for their commitment to feeding our communities and caring for their animals every day. 💙🐄🥛
