WHAT'S NEW FROM THE KNOWLEDGE CENTER?
Youth Showbox
We are excited to launch our latest resource, the Youth Showbox! Created for youth showing livestock, FFA Advisors, 4-H Agents and Volunteers and anyone interested in the topic. We invite you to browse multiple videos, guide sheets, infographics and buyers resources.
We have you covered from the very beginning with our Getting Started Showing Livestock guidebook to the Anatomy of a Good Thank You Letter.
Keeping livestock records for your market animal is an incredibly important skill to have. Showing livestock is also a great way to gain hands-on experience with livestock production and the responsibility of recordkeeping that comes along with farming.
SOFT SKILLS CURRICULUM
Many of you have requested access to our Soft Skills Curriculum launched last October. We thank you for your interest in this great resource and hope that it has become a valuable addition to your lessons.

Learning to use spreadsheets or Excel is one of the best assets when dealing with financial literacy. Planning, developing and visualizing your budgets, cash flows and other financial statements is key when understanding finances. There are some great resources to utilize spreadsheets and learn Excel skills, including our Business Toolkit found on our website,HERE.
As the year winds down, burnout is ever-present among educators. One good way to bust that burnout is to utilize prioritizing lists, networks, and outside speakers. By prioritizing your to-dos and tasks, it allows you to check off completed items and gives you a sense of accomplishment. It also allows you to decide which tasks will help you achieve your immediate goals. By utilizing your networks and outside speakers you can alleviate the stress of creating content for your courses and students can hear from others. This can allow you and your students to learn from others and you can fill YOUR information cup!
