I will agree with one part. The county extension offices should be discontinued. With the onset of the internet why are they needed? You can set in your office at home and get the same information plus more on your computer. You can get information from several sources and then it up to you to evaluate this information for your own use. Some people want to let someone else make the decision for them.
When it comes to 4-H there are foundations that are supported by many large companies and individuals that provide funding for the 4-H projects. The elected volunteer county 4-H committee directs the individual volunteer leaders. These volunteers receive no pay for there work. When I was a State 4-H officer all of the state officer were involved in raiding the funds needed t secure the land and build the camp. I drove over a part of the state I lived in conducting meeting to enlighten people of the need for funding. I was eighteen and received no money for mileage and time. That camp is one of the finest and is owned by a Foundation and operates on its own funding charged for its use. This was not done with a hand out from the government. If you check you will find that all of the awards and trips that 4-H member receive are from foundations supported by individuals or large companies not from TAX money.

We have hauled there animals to state and National show with our show herd and only on one case did one of these recipient fail to live up to expectation and that was due to lack of parental support. One of the young ladies graduates from college this year and has served on the judging team and served a internship at one of the big AI companies.
So I say “Do not throw the baby out in the washwater”. gitrib
