Russell News


Russell News December 25, 2018
            We are pleased to learn rural Russell resident Ava Johnson was awarded (one of five) Midwest Heritage gift of three bred heifers. The goal is to help future young farmers gain interest and knowledge of the beef cattle industry.
            Ava is a seventh-grader involved in the Russell Reivers 4-H Club.  She has shown cattle, goats, pigs, rabbits and chickens, is involved in dance, volleyball and will run track. Her goal is to attend college to be an animal nutritionist or scientist.
            The program will span five years and participant must maintain accurate records.  At the conclusion of the five years,  recipients are responsible for paying back the market value of the three bred heifers.
