Stoughton 4-H is focused on beef for the year

In 1950 the Rock Lake 4-H Grain Club came to life and in 1965-66 the Stoughton Crossroads Multiple Club came together. The clubs morphed into one and is the club it is today.

Jeryn Tanner is the general leader of the club and has held this position for seven years. Danielle Gibson is also a leader and Carolyn Chaytors is a volunteer.

They have six kids in the club, one intermediate, three juniors and two cloverbuds. The 4-H motto is “Learn to do by Doing,” and they work hard to keep this motto.

Kids ages six to 21 years may join 4-H and can join as many clubs as they choose.

Meetings are held at the Poplar Tree Inn once a month. Right now, they do not have a set night for meetings.

Three Generations of Care for the Land, the Cattle and the Future of Farming

Video: Three Generations of Care for the Land, the Cattle and the Future of Farming

At Van Osch Farms, the family raises Ontario corn-fed beef while working with the land to keep their operation strong for the next generation. From upcycling corn distillers in their feed program to powering their farm with rooftop solar (producing enough electricity for 80 homes), their approach is rooted in continuous improvement.

Their commitment to responsible farming practices earned them The Environmental Stewardship Award, recognizing producers who go above and beyond in caring for their land and animals.

It's another example of how Ontario farmers are helping build a sustainable future for Ontario beef.
