Posted 2/26/2018

 

The 4-H programs from Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Schoharie-Otsego & Fulton-Montgomery are once again offering a vegetable marketing project to 4-H youth in our region. Due to multiple changes to their corporation and the needs of our program, we have decided to part ways with the Golub Corporation and recreate the program in 2018.
