The Tioga County 4-H Program has again partnered with the Owego Kiwanis to offer the 4-H Fall Turkey Project. A Kiwanis sponsor will purchase six birds for the participating 4-H member. The 4-H member is responsible for all feed and butchering costs.
At the end of the project, the sponsor will get a bird free of charge. The 4-H member will then be responsible for finding buyers for the remaining five birds.
The program will begin in June and 4-H youth will raise the birds until late October at which time the birds will go to the butcher. Youth raisers must become members of the 4-H program to participate and must be nine to 19 years of age.
