Oftentimes when you see a member of the 4-H Minute Milkers Club, they’re doing a project or showing an animal at the fair.
Minute Milkers was founded in February 1948, making 2023 their 75th year as a club.
The club is made up of members from various towns in southern Clay County, including Fairfield, Deweese, Edgar, Glenvil, and Clay Center.
Together, the kids and their leaders work together to complete projects, attend and ride in parades, and compete at the Clay County Fair.
Originally, the club focused only on dairy, but as the years moved on it branched out to involve a variety or projects and events, including gardening, foods, beef, clothing, swine, sheep, rabbits, poultry, horses, dogs, cats, crops, rockets, home environment, and photography.
Community projects are a big part of Minute Milkers, with club members setting goals each year to complete various projects.
