The future of the dairy industry will depend on knowledgeable people who understand recommended dairy farming practices and are well informed about current issues facing dairy farmers and the entire dairy industry. The 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl is an activity designed to encourage youth to become more knowledgeable about dairy farming and the dairy industry. This knowledge will be of great value as they pursue higher education and will be extremely useful in the development of dairy industry leadership. The Dairy Quiz Bowl is a contest with dairy topic questions. One statewide contest is held each year.
Teams compete with each other in giving oral answers to questions posed by a contest moderator.
The teams receive credit for correct answers and in some cases, a penalty for not answering. A written exam is also part of the senior division contest. Any boy or girl, ages 9-19 is eligible to participate. Contests will be held for both the junior and senior divisions. Multi-County teams that are composed of youth from different counties may be entered as a county team.
