Avian Influenza has been a big problem for farms, zoos, and wild bird populations around the country, and now it's having an effect on 4H. 

Kendra Wallace, 4H Youth Development Educator for the University of Illinois Extension for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, explains that with the rise in bird flu numbers, the Illinois Department of Agriculture is keeping a close eye before allowing a poultry show. She hopes to have good news next Wednesday.
