Sign up for 2024 4-H Country Ham Project by Dec 8 By Tony Rose, Agent for 4-H Youth Development Adair County Cooperative Extension Service Do you like to eat country ham? Would you like to learn how country ham is processed and processed your country ham? If the answer is YES to these questions, then the 4-H Country Ham project is for you. To sign up for the project, youth and parents must complete the Country Ham Project Agreement and pay the $70.00 fee. Starting sometime in January, youth will meet to start curing their hams. The deadline to sign up for the Country Ham project is December 8, 2023. This year we will cure them in the Adair County 4-H Ham House. Youth will also have to attend regular meetings to complete the required six hours of trainings to learn about hams and the curing process. In August, the hams will be taken to the Kentucky State Fair to be judged, and the youth will give a speech. 4-H members throughout the state spend several months preparing their hams for the Fair, where their meat is judged by commercial country ham producers according to its smell, roundness, color, and texture. After the hams are cured, youth are required to give a presentation on any aspect of the project such as nutrition or value added. In addition, the processors evaluate ham on such factors as leanness, shape, appearance, and aroma. The combined presentation and judging scores determine the overall winner. This takes place during the Kentucky State Fair. Benefits: Youth develop valuable technical merit, communications, research, and organizational skills from the presentations. Persistence and responsibility are among the traits 4-H members develop during the nine months they cure hams at the processing plant. Youth also learn to appreciate the importance of value added to a raw commodity. And, there's a financial benefit. All participants also receive a State Fair premium. Cost: 4-H Age Participants pay a $70.00 fee. Cloverbuds may also participate, and the fee for them is $50.00. Cloverbuds only receive one ham to cure, while 4-H Age youth will receive two hams to cure. This story was posted on 2023-11-21 14:44:22
