253 4-H clubs across the country are getting support for local events and activities.
Farm Credit Canada is giving each up to $500 through its 4-H Club Fund for a total of nearly $125,000.
Todd Klink, FCC's Chief Marketing Officer, says the federal farm lender likes to take a long-term view on agriculture.
He feels 4-H programs lead to many possibilities for young people to work in farming or in one of many ag-related careers.
FCC notes the money can be used for projects such as achievement days, workshops, equipment, field trips and more.
