FCS Financial, a member of the Farm Credit System, has pledged $25,000 to establish the FCS Financial – Missouri 4-H Animal Science Fund. The pledge supports the Missouri 4-H Foundation endowment initiative The Next Sixty Years, which focuses on providing permanent support for University of Missouri Extension 4-H state programs.
The new fund will support animal science programs, including dairy, livestock and horse judging. These programs are essential to the future of agriculture in the state of Missouri and are the roots of 4-H.
“Supporting our rural youth is the key to a successful Missouri,” said FCS Financial CEO Daryl Oldvader. “We are honored to be a part of The Next Sixty Years initiative and are committed to helping 4-H members continue their education process in the animal science field.”
