4-H funding takes significant hit in draft budget for Hillsdale County

Proposed budget cuts for 2027 in Hillsdale County could reduce mental health programming and agricultural education, including 4-H, from the Michigan State University Extension . Mary Bowling of the MSU Extension told commissioners the potential loss would effectively amount to about a third of the organization’s budget during a meeting Nov. 10. “We’re not opposed to a cut, but a third of our budget would affect (our) ability to serve county residents,” she said. The tentative budget calls for a 17% reduction in funding based on the county’s memorandum of understanding, along with reductions involving a program coordinator for 4-H, according to Commissioner Brent Leininger. Bowling said the cuts could affect more than 4-H , including pesticide applicator education, mental health first aid, farm stress assistance and training under ServSafe. Nisha Ritchie, a retired educator and volunteer for 4-H, said reducing support for the coordinator position could have long-term consequences for young people in Hillsdale County. She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H. Without adequate coordinator support, she said, club leaders could have fewer resources and less guidance. Leininger said the municipality is facing difficult choices for 2027. The tentative general fund
