4-H Ontario Gets New Executive Director

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Debra Brown has been picked as the new Executive Director of 4-H Ontario. The director will be tasked in leading the organization into its 100th year, while seeking new opportunities for growth.

Brown previously served as the Senior Manager, Volunteer and Community Engagement, with 4-H Ontario for almost two years. The new role should be a smooth transition for Brown, as she served as the interim Executive Director for the past several months.

Currently, there are about 6,000 4-H members in the province and 1, 800 volunteers. The Executive Director is responsible for overseeing the organization’s programs, resources and opportunities.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
