Unique to Indiana, the Pet and Hobby Club was created by the Women’s Department of the Indiana Farm Bureau.  With membership open to children 10 and under, the program included education about health and safety on the farm as well as home economics.  As the meetings for the Pet and Hobby Club took place at the same time as the IFB county meetings, the program also sought to encourage the attendance of young farming couples with children.  In 1995, the program was renamed “Little Farmers.”
