Twenty-one 4-H members, ages eight to18 from Beadle, Sanborn, Jerauld, Hughs/Stanley, Brookings and Brule Counties attended the event. “This is the first camp of this kind to be held in South Dakota,” said Audra Scheel, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Program Advisor. Instructors Chris McGolden and Allison McGolden-Taylor, a father-daughter team, traveled in from Arapahoe, Okla., and Bryan, Texas to lead the event. McGolden is a vocational agriculture instructor who has instructed show lamb camps across the United States. His daughter, McGolden-Taylor was named the 2005 Champion Showman at the National Western in Denver. The McGolden family raises club lambs in Arapahoe. 4-H members who attended the twoday camp brought one to two lambs with them for hands-on training, which included; fitting, clipping and showmanship. “Having the one-on-one instruction was huge,” Scheel said. “This was a family atmosphere camp. Youth were required to bring one parent with them so moms and dads learned right along with the kids.” The event was held a few weeks in advance of area Achievement Days and the South Dakota State Fair; providing youth with a great opportunity to practice and hone their skills before they need to appear in the show ring. “If you’re not showing, you’re not winning. Good showmanship skills will move you up a couple spots in those tougher classes, every time,” said Dakota Fresh Receptions Introduce New Food Hub McGolden. During her presentation, McGoldenTaylor focused on the mechanics of showmanship with the younger 4-Hers. “Allison even had the kids practice with imaginary sheep. It sounds goofy but the placement of your body and how you use it is huge”, Scheel said. Each child received a camp T-shirt sponsored by Aurora, Jerauld-Buffalo, and Sanborn 4-H Leader Associations. Door prizes were won by campers and included; wool cards, brushes, halters and feed additives. “I’m looking forward to how these youth and their families put all we learned into action. Camp will be something that we look to host again, 100 percent of our campers reported that they would like to return to camp in two years’ time,” Scheel said. ?iGrow Back Row: Instructor- Chris McGolden, Carissa Scheel, Alpena, SD; William Torres, Huron, SD; Jacob Beastrom and Jace Beastrom, Pierre, SD; Whitney Reider, Wessington Springs, SD; Raeza Zelinsky, Brookings, SD; Instructor- Allison McGolden-Taylor.

MOTOR NIOBRARA, NE www.moodymotor.com BROOKINGS, S.D. - Local food producers involved in establishing the first food hub in South Dakota entertained potential clients during four receptions held in July. The receptions featured professional chefs creating dishes from local foods, sampling foods raised by local farmers, and an introduction to the concept of the food hub. Dakota Fresh Food Hub Dakota Fresh will be a producer-owned LLC located in southeastern South Dakota. “It will assist producers in aggregating, marketing and distributing their food products to places such as restaurants, institutions and grocers in the region,” said Kari O’Neill, SDSU Extension Community Development Field Specialist. O’Neill explained that the two-year planning process was funded in part through a Local Food Promotion Program grant from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service. More than 25 producers were involved in the planning. More than 30 potential buyers attended the four receptions held in Sioux Falls, Brookings, Wagner and Yankton. Buyers came from a wide range of entities including independent restaurants, schools, grocers, bakeries, Senior meal services, catering services, and businesses providing food for large companies. “Potential buyers expressed an interest in purchasing local foods on a regular basis from the hub, and in making sure the supply will be as consistent and high quality as possible,” O’Neill said. Jonathan Ricks, chef for Sodexo who serves the Capital One workforce and demonstrated cooking with local food during the Wagner reception, added, “I love what I heard today. Chefs enjoy being creative, and this is a way we can do that with the seasonality of the food available,” Ricks said. Delivering high quality local food on a consistent basis will be the main goal for Dakota Fresh. Next steps to making the hub a reality will include searching for a part-time food hub manager who will be the key communicator, marketer and deliverer of the product, and locating a warehouse site to aggregate food. O’Neill explained that when the hub opens in early 2016, it will use on online ordering system and will deliver food once a week. Key partners assisting with the start-up of Dakota Fresh include; SDSU Extension, Dakota Rural Action, S.D. Specialty Producers, S.D.
