MONTHLY REPORT – LYLE HOLMGREN, ANN HENDERSON, MIKE PACE
Ann Henderson, Home Economist, reported that they had an intern working this summer with the 4-H Program. She organized a sewing camp for kids just learning to sew. A camp was held in Brigham City and in Tremonton. There were 35 youth in both places. It was a two-week long event, and many volunteers helped with the camp. A money camp was held and 10 kids were involved. Kids grades 3-6 learned about money. They earned and spent money and tried to make good consumer decisions. There were 1,261 exhibits entered in the fair this year. Entries were up 500 from last year. Ms. Henderson said they have a diabetes education class in Spanish for the Hispanic population in the County.
Extension Agent Mike Pace reported on the Alfalfa Weevil Control Research Study. The objective of this research is to determine whether the preventative alfalfa weevil treatment provides an economic advantage over the conventional method of scouting for weevil and then treating on an as-needed basis and determining the impact of preventative and conventional alfalfa weevil control methods on non-target insect and mite populations. Mr. Pace has been working with Dr. Dominique Roche to establish some irrigated feed and malting barley trials in Box Elder County. This year the Embryology Program was taken to 10 elementary schools and 28 different classrooms reaching 689 youth.
Extension Agent Lyle Holmgren reported there were 575 animals at the fair and the auction sales totaled $530,713.05. He said all of the money goes back to the youth except for a small amount for operation purposes. Box Elder County has a steer carcass research summary dating back to 1974. He said you could see some trends. Mr. Holmgren said many thanks to the many buyers at the Junior Livestock Auction and to the County Commissioners.
