"I was a third generation 4-H'er," says Linda. "I have reaped the many benefits of being involved in the 4-H program and I enjoy sharing my life experiences with others while helping them gain new skills and create positive experiences of their own. My favorite experiences is helping others and watching their faces lights up after a job well done or after learning a new skill. I'm also amazed at the lifelong friends that are made through 4-H. Many great memories are created."
Linda also volunteers with Ag Awareness Festival, FFA, Ag in the Classroom, Farm Safety Day camp and the American Dairy Association/Dairy Council.
