The Denburger family's roots in the Jefferson Go Getters 4-H Club run deep! Randy was a proud member, as were his children, and now his grandchildren. Randy's involvement in 4-H in Mahaska county set up a lifetime of involvement and success in agriculture and livestock production; we are thankful he passed this down from generation to generation and look for it to continue long in to the future--Thank you Randy for the example you set for not only your family but all of us here in Mahaska County!

Instead...please scan the code (link in comments also) and have some fun with our 4-H Goosechase, for those that have not used this before it is an scavenger hunt made up of multiple challenges and fun activities; you can participate as an individual or as a group so jump in and have some !

Dr. Elizabeth Moore got her start as a member of Mahaska County 4-H club, the Heartland Helpers! We are super proud of her and it is evident that her livestock background from her family farm and growing up showing cattle, participating in leadership and communication events through 4-H at the Southern Iowa Fair helped shape her pathway in to Veterinary Medicine. She received her DVM from Iowa State University and is now serving South Central and Southeast Iowa as a Cattle and Small Ruminant Vet--Way to go Liz!

4-H in Mahaska County helped shape the future path for Sarah (Denburger) Martin as she reflects on her 9 years as a member of the Jefferson Go-Getters 4-H Club. Looking back her involvement in 4-H helped prepare her for her career in Ag Education after receiving her BASc in Ag Education and Business from Iowa State University. Sarah continues to help shape youth's agricultural journey's as the Ag Education Instructor and FFA Advisor at Shenandoah Community Schools for the past 15 years and counting!
