I need help on deciding on a project for FFA and 4-H?

i cant decide on what kind of project to do for ffa and 4-h. i want to either grow or raising something. . . like poultry- nothing to big. also, something that is going to be marketable/profitable. nothing to unusual. i have looked at sugar beets, wheat, chickens, guinea hens, turkeys, sweet corn, rutabagas, potatoes.


where am i going to sell this item? i live in a fairly small town. 10,000 people more or less.


has to be something that will grow in mn either underground or in the cold/winter. possibly something that can be planted in the spring...ya you can add that too. just need alot of ideas.

You included some details but not sure how much area you have to work with. In our county, chickens have had the largest profit margin, provided you have an animal auction at the end of your co fair (tell your politians to bid at the auction). Another big $ maker has been sweet corn, yeah you have to harvest it EARLY in the morning (sometimes before sunrise), that's usually when the sugars are the highest and it lasts longer, sweeter, and customers LOVE great sweet corn!! You could set up a stand and sell corn- excellent experience in planting, marketing, and customer relations with your community. A few locals here started with an acre now are growing 10 acres due to demand! Good Luck!!
