Member of the 4H IPM County
Plowers Club
The fourth meeting of the 4-H
IPM County Plowers was held at the
Clinton Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
office on Wednesday, July 12.
The meeting started with the 4-H
pledge. The roll call was "have you
been to a judging competition?"
Most of the members said yes.
The members were asked to sign
thank -you cards to the many people
and businesses that have donated
items to go into the 4-H tent at the
IPM. The secretary's report was also
presented. Members broke into
groups, some members finished
their mystery boxes and some
members worked on outlining a
puzzle on the tile game.
All members judged a class of
soybeans and photographs. This was
done to get the club ready for the 4-
H judging day to be held on Aug. 8
at the Seaforth Agriplex.
The meeting ended with the 4-H
Motto.
