Junior clubs training rural leaders in Iowa
Purposes of boys and girls clubs extend beyond pure stock farming. Extension agencies organize groups to build community leadership, teach farm and home practices, and demonstrate improvements. Farm Bureaus coordinate clubs with local volunteers, meetings, and yearly programs to boost educational value, community demonstrations, and readership. In 1922 Iowa club members saved or earned $192,959 from 27,293 juniors enrolled. Local leaders totaled 1,146 volunteers serving 9,368 days across 92 farm bureaus and 73 counties at the state fair. 105 members won trips to an international livestock expo.
