4-H Tours
Both Farmer Russell and his wife Holly were active participants in their local 4-H Club.  This provided them with many great experiences.  This tour was developed to share their farming lifestyle with youngsters that may not otherwise get to see life on a farm.  This  tour option is available for students to visit the farm or for Farmer Russell to come to your club or school.
 
Either option allows the teacher to select topics for his or her students to meet their group's needs. 

Choose from the following topics to customize your tour:
• animal husbandry
• milking as a career opportunity
• breeding practices
• soil care and conservation
• calf care
• marketing, distribution, and supply and demand
• cow nutrition
