Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) awarded $14,000 to 14 county and state 4-H programs through the Clover Cash Grant Program.

Now in its sixth year, the program continues to inspire 4-H members to explore agriculture through creative, innovative and engaging educational projects.

“Farm Bureau is dedicated to supporting the next generation of agricultural advocates,” said McKenna Bush, TFB Youth Outreach coordinator. “By equipping 4-H clubs and programs with the tools and resources they need, we’re helping students deepen their understanding of where their food comes from and how agriculture impacts daily life.”

This year’s grant recipients will use the funds to strengthen educational activities, expand hands-on learning opportunities and launch outreach efforts that spark interest in agricultural careers and leadership. Projects include cooking demonstrations, interactive exhibits and STEM-focused agricultural programs.

“These initiatives cultivate curiosity and growth,” Bush said. “Farm Bureau is proud to invest in these initiatives and in the future of agriculture.”
