Special Agronomy Project 2024, Sugar Beets, from Nebraska Extension and 4-H. The project gives 4-H members an opportunity to experience a crop that is grown, was grown or has the potential to be grown in Nebraska. Youth participate by receiving seed and resources to grow the crop, researching traits of the crop and determining the viability of that crop in the part of the state they live. The project allows 4-H members interested in agronomy to grow something fun, new, and different.
