importance during Ag Day Celebration 2013. Students stayed at the
National 4-H Visitors Center and visited Capitol Hill to meet directly
with legislators and advisors from their home state.

home states and specific commodities that are important to them
On Monday, March 18, students participated in a training session on the Importance of Active Engagement, to get them ready for their visits on the Hill. In addition, they listened to a panel discuss creating a positive image for agriculture. They also took a guided tour of Washington, D.C.
