Speaker 1 (00:30):
So that's why you're here the Agricultural Club fall fundraisers.
First of all, tell me about the Agricultural Club. What

all that stuff?
Speaker 2 (00:39):

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, So and you can join? And what what does
a kid get out of being a member of the
Agricultural Club.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Each year, the Berdy County has their Junior Livestock show
in January. The kids that sell their projects, it's a
premium cell. So basically all the livestock kids that show
a project are able to sell quote unquote sell their
project for premium money, basically like scholarship money. The sale
is for the livestock portion. All the kids that show
(01:23):
up with the project are able to sell their animals
and a premium cell. They retain the animals, but it's
a like a scholarship, and then they also have the
ag mechanics portion as well that the kids that they
get judged on their projects that they show up with
and then they make the premium sell there as well.
And that premium cell. Like I said, it's more like
(01:44):
a scholarship. And we're not buying. Our club does not
buy the projects. We're not a buyer's club. We just
add on money.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Add on money to our kids that are part of
our association.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's neat, and they get to take advantage of having
that extra money in school or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
They their next project, next next project, next year, and
you know, cover cover costs that they might have heard,
you know, through the year. But hopefully a lot of
most of the kids probably are just sticking the sock
and burying it and having it for having for college,
just not getting at the sheep for these days.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know, I tell you the I didn't really realize
until I guess a couple of years ago. You're talking
about like a mechanical project something like that. That's correct,
