Last night retired Saline County Ag Agent Tom Leslie was honored at the Saline County Farm Bureau meeting. He and his wife Jan are moving to Northeast Arkansas. We'll miss having Tom as part of our 4-H foundation and seeing him at County events!

Also included is a bonus picture of the current agent Nicole Nichols along with Ron Matlock who retired in 2019 and Tom. It's not often you get two retired agents that are still involved heavily in the county.

Do you have teens interested in joining 4-H? This might be the club for them!

Teen Leaders Club Is Back!

Our Teen Leaders Club officially started back up on September 29th! While attendance was a little lower than we had hoped, we are excited about the potential this group has and look forward to growing our Teen Leaders program.

Our goal is to give young adults opportunities to build leadership skills, take on new responsibilities, plan activities, and make a difference in their community.
