Youcan also learn from field trips and camps, by participating in shows and competitions, aswell as through your family and self-study.Why complete a record book?A record book is not meant to be a chore.

But this is not likely sodon’t worry if your project did not make money! Although a business aims to earn a profit, a 4-Hproject is meant for learning. The important point to learn is that most activities have costs.Therefore, you must be careful to spend money wisely.More likely, you spent more on your 4-H project than you earned from it.Therefore, “expenses” minus “income” is the total (or “net”) cost of yourproject.Total Expenses (E)Example: 12.50Minus Total Income (I) Net Project Cost (N) 8.00 4.50My actual numbers:
