Full Circle: Giving Back Where It All Began – Chris Clark’s 4-H Story

Chris Clark is reconnecting with his 4-H roots after nearly 20 years as an alum. Inspired by the Tomorrow Needs 4-H campaign, Chris has found, and continues to find, many unique ways to give back to the organization that helped shape him into the person he is today. From partnering with us to give away two floor seats to Taylor Swift, to singing the national anthem at the 2024 TD Canadian 4-H Dairy Classic, to promoting 4-H on his social platforms and in media interviews, Chris claims he’s “only just getting started”. 

As Chris transitions to his dream career as a country music artist, and in celebration of his newest single, Bronco, we asked him to reflect on his time in 4-H and share with us the journey that brought him to where he is now. 

The Early Days 

Born and raised on a dairy farm in Elora, ON, Chris Clark began his 4-H journey at the age of 10 with the Eramosa and Erin Dairy Club. Hooked right out of the gate, he went on to join the Eramosa Goat Club and the 4-H Judging Club.  

“I really loved my time at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the Scotiabank Hays Classic ... I also particularly remember the warm summer night 4-H club meetings and training my calf with my cousins and friends at local farms within Wellington County, we had the best time”.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
