The youth may also be prohibited from exhibi ng at this and future exhibi ons including the Iowa State Fair and other county, state or regional exhibi ons.

Youth agree to follow these guidelines:

1. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age and physical and mental development. This includes research and wri ng of exhibit explana ons, preparing exhibits (such as sewing, cooking, re nishing, etc), care and grooming of animals, etc. Adult assistance should help guide and support me, not do it for me.

2. All exhibits will be a true representa on of my work. Any a empt to take credit for other’s work, alter the conforma on of animals, or alter their performance is prohibited. Copyright viola on or allowing others to complete your exhibit is considered misrepresenta on and is prohibited.

3. I will treat all people and animals with respect. I will provide appropriate care for animals. 4. I will present exhibits that are safe for consump on. All food exhibits will be safe to exhibit and

for judges to evaluate. Other exhibits will be safe for judges to evaluate and for exhibi on. 5. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for

consumers, and shall have met all withdrawal mes for all medica ons, and be free of viola ve drug residue.

7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including medica ons, external applica ons and surgical procedures. Any animal that is found to have changed its appearance or its performance shall be disquali ed from the show, and have penal es assessed against the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian by the management of the fair or exhibi on.

8. I will follow all ownership and possession rules and, if requested, will provide the necessary documenta on.

9. I will follow all livestock health requirements for this fair or exhibi on, according to the state health requirements as printed in the premium book of the fair or exhibi on. I will provide animal health cer cates from a licensed veterinarian upon request from the management of the fair or exhibi on.

10. By my entering an animal in this fair or exhibi on, I am giving consent to the management of the fair or exhibi on to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in tes ng. If the laboratory report on the analysis of any sample indicates a presence of forbidden drugs, this shall be evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in ques on, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collec on and preserva on, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in ques on and correctly re ects the condi on of the animal at the me the sample was taken, with the burden on the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian to prove otherwise.

11.I am responsible for my exhibit and I will not allow others to violate this code on my behalf. By my entering an exhibit in this fair or exhibi on I will accept any disciplinary ac on taken by the management of this fair or exhibi on for any viola on of this code of ethics and any other rules of compe on of the fair or exhibi on without recourse against the fair or exhibi on.

12.I want my exhibit to be an example of how to accept what life has to o er, both good and not so good, and how to live with and learn from the outcome.

13.I will not be involved in any illegal ac vi es while par cipa ng in 4 H and FFA events, including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco or drug use.

I agree to conduct myself in an honest, ethical, and upstanding manner and I understand that disciplinary ac ons will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am expected to represent the program in a posi ve manner. I have read, understand and agree to follow this code of ethics, and any other rules of compe on of the fair or exhibi on as printed in its premium book.
