“NEW Cooperative takes extraordinary pride in supporting our area youth 4-H programs. We strongly feel that 4-H helps youth build the foundation to become future leaders in our local communities. We are excited for them as they gain all the valuable skills and knowledge the 4-H program offers,” stated Holly Reicks, NEW Cooperative Communication Specialist.
