Poultry nutrition and health will be the theme for a special workshop aimed for youth set for Saturday, May 17th from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. at the old 4-H building on the Adair County Fairgrounds in Greenfield. Ben Varley, former Adair County 4-H’er and a junior in Animal Science at Iowa State University, and Karen Varley, Adair County 4-H and FFA Poultry Superintendent, will present information on all aspects of the 4-H and FFA poultry project.
