Every year, ten to twenty FFA members participate in the Lake County fair. Some take a swine project, others lambs. And some, take a beef project. We tip our hats to all our fair participants, especially our beef showmen. They constantly take care of their fair animals, almost year-round even! This includes loading them up and taking them to weigh-ins. Our FFA members are also able to help the leaders and younger 4-H members with heir steers during weigh-ins too. It's a lot of work, but they'll be rewarded come fair time!

Alfalfa Capital Of The World
Lake County Hay Growers Association
Well drained soils, cool Summer nights and little threat of rain during the curing process has allowed North Lake alfalfa farmers to produce some of the highest quality hay in the world. Most of the hay is shipped to dairy farms in the Tillamook region, or pressed and exported to Japan and Korea.
