  • Buy a paper clover and support local 4-H youth

    The cashier at Southern States may ask you to part with an extra dollar this month. But don't worry, it's not inflation, it's for a good cause.

    "We are proud to partner with Southern States Cooperative and their customers during National 4-H Week and the week after. The 4-H clover promotion is a great opportunity to highlight 4-H in retail outlets while raising funds for local clubs," said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council.
