Iowa State Fair celebrates 4-H Day

INTERVIEW: Emily Saveraid, Iowa 4-H Foundation

The legacy of 4-H was recognized at the Iowa State Fair on Friday.

Emily Saveraid, executive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation, says 4-H Day offers a chance to see firsthand how the organization empowers young people.

“4-H is 120 years old and what worked in the beginning still works now when we think about how young people relate to their communities, relate to their peers and how they learn those life skills.”

She tells Brownfield 4-H has helped enhance a strong future for agriculture.
