NDSU Bowman County Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent Penny Nester has spent most of her life involved in 4-H. “4-H definitely runs in the family. Both of my parents were 4-H leaders, my grandmother was in 4-H and now I’m an Extension agent that oversees the 4-H program.” Nester has experience in directing county 4-H programs in North Dakota and South Dakota and says it offers such a wide variety of opportunities, ranging from livestock showmanship and shooting sports to STEM projects to communication skills. “These are life-long skills that kids acquire then they’re young and build on throughout their lives.”
