Three Missouri 4-H members attended the National 4-H Conference in Chevy
Chase, Maryland.
Sage Eichenburch of Prairie Home, Kayla Taylor of Leeton and Rachel Grubbs of
Sikeston represented Missouri 4-H members at the conference.
For Eichenburch and Grubbs, the 4-H conference was their first visit to the
nation’s capital.
4-H delegates prepared briefings for federal agencies on youth policy ranging
from agriculture, bullying and entrepreneurship to distracted driving, opioids
and renewable energy.
Eichenburch is a first-year student at the University of Missouri, Taylor is a
sophomore at the University of Central Missouri and Grubbs is a freshman at
Three Rivers College. Missouri 4-H specialist Steve Henness calls it a high
honor, considering only three young people from Missouri are chosen to attend. The
state has more than 55,000 4-H members.
