No. Ohio 4-H rules state that youth members are to participate in their county of residence. This is a funding issue – tax payers in another county should not be expected to support educational programs for Van Wert County youth. It puts the burden on their county commissioners and tax dollars. The same would apply to Van Wert County tax payers and their county commissioners. We cannot afford to support youth from another county. The cross county line 4-H policy is void when there is no Extension program in the county of residence.
