Raising Food
Before heading to school each morning, Anna and Gracie Shane are out in the brisk morning air filling troughs with food and water for their lambs. At 16 and 14, respectively, the Carson High School sisters have responsibilities that extend well beyond homework and after-school activities. Through 4-H, Americaโs largest youth-development program, they are raising animals destined for the local food system โ and learning invaluable lessons about agriculture, community, and hard work along the way.
