October 7-18 – Paper Clover at Tractor Supply Company (TSC stores) – To help support 4-H, purchase a paper clover in-store or add a donation at checkout online.  Visit tractorsupply.com/4h for more details.

October 16 – Household Food Waste Management: Alternatives to Diaries and Digs (Zoom webinar) – 11 a.m., Few people like to take the garbage out, let alone measure it.  This yuk factor creates a significant barrier to measuring food waste in household settings. Direct measurement in diaries and weighing food-waste caddies often relies upon intimate contact between people and unwanted food.  This has contributed to a paucity of data on wasted food, which hinders understanding and evaluation.
