"During the late 1800s, farming communities did not readily accept the new agricultural discoveries being developes, but young people were open to new thinking and would "experiment" with new ideas and share their experiences and successes with adults. 4-H youth programs became an innovative way to introduce new agricultural technology to their communities. In Marin, as early as 1922, there were clubs for dairy, sheep, goat, beekeeping, poultry, rabbits, pigs, potatoes, vegetables, seeding, clothing, and for leadership and community service."
