Carter yielded her time to Ben Green, one of the members of the 4-H program. Green, the son of Jason and Jessica Green, spoke at length about what he’s learned from 4-H and how it’s helping him become a better farmer and public speaker, which will help him interact with potential customers in the future. The passion Green has for farming and helping his family out was apparent along with how 4-H has assisted him in a number of ways. He mentioned he enjoyed a lot of the activities including archery. Carter then took over and talked about the different events and activities the Bradley County 4-H participates in. Those include archery, District Broiler BBQ, Great Outdoor Youth Day, Salsa Canning Workshop, Life Skills Workshop, Carpentry Workshop, Bereavement Blankets, UAM Planetarium, B-Day, Hunters Education Class, Gingerbread Workshop, Swimming Party, and Pumpkin Workshop. Carter touched on the importance for young people to learn different life skills along with the fun activities as well. Additionally, she mentioned that several of these events have county, district, and state contests to participate in such the barbeque and B-Day activities and they are hoping to be able to enter more in the future. She concluded her program by talking about a little of her background, education, and how she managed to get her current position.
