Guy E. Smith

Guy Smith has contributed much to 4-H youth work over his 42 years of service. A former 4-H member of eight years, he began his adult role in 1936 as an advisor to an agricultural project club and continued in that capacity through 1079. In addition, he served as a tractor club advisor from 1954 to 1963 and had an average of 10 boys in the club a year. Guy has touched the lives of more than 275 youth through the 4-H clubs he advised. And he has done so while owning and farming land in three different counties – Greene, Clark, and Madison. (However, most of his 4-H activities have centered in Green and Clark Counties.)

Among the major contributions made by Guy is his chairing the Livestock Committee, which spearheaded the way toward combining 4-H and FFA livestock shows and sales in Greene County. This has worked extremely well since its inception in the early 1970s. He also helped organize the 4-H Council, as it was known at that time, which was responsible for planning and organizing the 4-H Advisor Recognition Banquet, officer and advisor training and many other events. Guy won the 4-H Alumni Award in Greene County in 1957 and the Ohio Pork Industry Excellence Award in 1980. Guy's dedication and achievements have strengthened the 4-H program.
