Non-Livestock

In Barry County 4-H our “Non-livestock” projects include art, crafts, horticulture, culinary arts, conservation, outdoor sports, business skills, leadership and so much more!  You can do almost anything in the 4-H Non-livestock area and have it judged and exhibited at the Barry County Fair.

We have several 4-H members running profitable businesses that have started in 4-H.  They have entered their businesses in Generation E Showcase and won awards for their ideas, business plans, and more! We have had 4-H Non-livestock members who have made career choices from their projects and some with businesses directly tied to their 4-H experience.  

For more information on a 4-H Club in your area call the Barry County MSU Extension Office at 269 945-1388 or see our club list
