Marion County Farm Bureau Supports Young 4-H Members with Project Grants

The Marion County Farm Bureau (MCFB) is excited to announce the recipients of its third annual “4-H Project Grant” program.

We are proud to share that all six applicants were awarded grants, with funding amounts ranging from $106 to the full $150, totaling $824.11 in support for 2025. Since the program began, MCFB has awarded $3,555.62 in total funding to 28 young participants.

The 2025 4-H Project Grant recipients are:

“We’re proud to continue supporting our county’s youth in agriculture,” said [Insert Name, Title if desired]. “These grants help open doors for kids to pursue hands-on learning and gain valuable experience through their 4-H projects.”

MCFB extends heartfelt congratulations to this year’s recipients and looks forward to seeing their accomplishments at the upcoming Marion County Fair. Investing in youth today ensures a stronger future for agriculture tomorrow.
