Adair 4-H Ham project underway 24 Entrepreneurial, Enterprising Adair County, KY, 4-H Youth in the project this year are: Reese Pearson, Wesley Rose, Easton Turner, Lileana Pearson, Gabe Cowan, Bryce Farris, Savhanna Pearson, Samuel Mast, Jessica Simpson, C.J.

Click on headline for story with photo(s) Tony Rose, Extension Agent for Youth On Monday, January 16, 24 4-H youth started their Country Ham projects for this year. The youth met at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service to put the hams on cure on Monday. The 4-H Country Ham project lets youth learn the process of how to cure country hams. Each youth received two hams that they put on cure. Raw hams are rubbed with a cure mixture and then hung in the ham house. The hams will hang until May when they will be cleaned of cure and rehung again. In August the youth will clean up the hams and select one to enter in the Kentucky State Fair. At the State Fair the youth must also give a 3-5 minute speech on a selected ham topic. The combined score of the speech and the ham score will give them their overall score. At the 4-H Awards banquet in October one of the hams will be auctioned off and proceeds will go toward a scholarship fund set up for country ham participants, to cover supplies for the project, and the youth will receive a percentage of the sales price. The country ham project is a great project to teach youth the history of how meat was processed and still processed today. They will also learn what is happening to the hams during the curing process and what it takes for them to be called a country ham. Communications skills are also developed by them having to give a speech at the State Fair. This is our sixth year of having youth involved in the project. The first year we had four youth and now we have 24 total youth involved: Reese Pearson, Wesley Rose, Easton Turner, Lileana Pearson, Gabe Cowan, Bryce Farris, Savhanna Pearson, Samuel Mast, Jessica Simpson, C.J. Bonifer, Preston Coomer, Sadie Mast, Kacie Karnes, Brady Cowan, Edna Mast, Jakob Turner, MaKayla Smith, Sarah Mast, Susan Spinks, Zach Smith, Walter Baker, Landon Herren, Bradley Durbin, and Dylan Mann Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. --Tony Rose This story was posted on 2012-01-19 16:53:48
