I’m Mark Oppold with an American Agriculture History Minute.
Jessie Shambaugh is part of American Agriculture History. A farm wife, Shambaugh was very active in her community and very focused on helping young boys and girls get a foothold in agriculture and understand its importance.
In 1910, she developed a clover pin to give some of those young people. Each pin had an H on each leaf. And by 1912, these boys’ and girls’ groups were called 4 -H Clubs. In the passage of the Smith-Lever Act in 1914, the National 4-H Organization was firmly established.
That’s today’s American Agriculture History Minute. I’m Mark Oppold. Thanks for reading. I’ll see you next time.
