Holmes County OSU Extension Lists February 4-H and ANR Trainings

Holmes County OSU Extension has posted a slate of 4-H and Agriculture & Natural Resources events through early March, offering volunteer training and technical certification opportunities important to local youth programs and producers. The county calendar shows two 4-H volunteer sessions, a livestock committee meeting tied to a policy item, a quality assurance session, and a low-cost fertilizer applicator certification.

The calendar lists a "4‑H Volunteer Training Breakfast" that was scheduled for Feb. 07, 2026 at 8:00am. Separate evening instruction is scheduled as a "4‑H Volunteer Training" on Feb. 10, 2026 at 6:00pm. Those two entries appear as distinct listings on the OSU Extension, Holmes County event page; the calendar does not specify whether they cover identical material or are separate sessions for different volunteer roles.

A "Livestock Committee Meeting with Policy 1.50" is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2026 at 6:00pm. The inclusion of "Policy 1.50" in the title signals that committee discussion will reference that policy text, but the calendar excerpt does not explain what Policy 1.50 addresses or whether the meeting is open to the public.

A "Quality Assurance" session is listed for Feb. 17, 2026 at 6:30pm. The entry is presented without further description; the calendar excerpt does not identify whether this is Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) training or another quality assurance format used by exhibitors, volunteers, or producers.

On the Agriculture & Natural Resources side, the calendar includes "Fertilizer Applicator Certification (private applicator)" on Mar. 04, 2026 from 12:30pm to 3:30pm with a stated "Cost: $10 per person." That fee is the only cost figure shown in the Holmes event excerpt. The certification is likely to be relevant to producers and applicators who must meet regulatory or practical training needs, though the calendar excerpt does not state what credential or documentation will be issued on completion.

The Holmes calendar entries provide event titles, dates and start times but omit key logistical details in the excerpt: no street addresses or venue names, no indication whether sessions are in-person or online, and no registration instructions or contact names. Times on the county calendar are shown without an explicit timezone; do not assume time zone without confirmation.

For residents planning to attend, verify location, registration and any prerequisites directly with Holmes County OSU Extension before traveling. The county calendar entries establish what programming the extension is offering this month, but additional details and clarifications are needed to confirm who should attend, how to sign up, and what materials or credentials will be provided. Expect updates on the extension events page and consider contacting the Holmes County extension office for confirmation and any late changes.
