Tractor Supply stores in Louisiana have joined with the LSU AgCenter as part of a national fundraising campaign to support local 4-H programs.

From March 26 through April 18, Tractor Supply Co. shoppers can support 4-H by purchasing paper clovers for $1 at checkout. The funds will be donated to 4-H to support local camps, after-school programs and other 4-H activities.

“The company’s willingness to support 4-H shows a commitment to youth development,” said Eric Eskew, executive director of the Louisiana 4-H Foundation.

“Many of our stores have been involved with 4-H clubs for years. Now, Tractor Supply Co. is proud to have an official chain-wide relationship with 4-H,” said Jim Wright, company chairman and CEO. “For us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members, and it’s a way to give back to the 900-plus unique communities we serve.”

Tractor Supply has stores in Ascension, Beauregard, Caddo, Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge, Franklin, Iberville, Natchitoches, Ouachita, Rapides, St. Martin, Tangiapahoa, Vermilion and Webster parishes.
