As the final days of 2013 ticked away, one unanswered question hovering over the Courthouse was: Will there be a 4-H program in Iron County in 2014? That decision will eventually come down to the Michigan State University Extension, after the County Board voted during its Dec. 12 meeting to reduce its MSUE allocation in the new county budget to $17,000. The Extension had been looking for $34,545. The issue was discussed at length during the Dec. 12 regular meeting. A public hearing on the new budget preceded the regular meeting, and the future of 4-H was the topic of most speakers. All supported 4-H, sometimes passionately and emotionally so, and said how much it means to Iron County’s children.
