Taiton Axtman, a 21-year-old 4-H ambassador and senior at North Dakota State University, is actively involved in supporting youth leadership and development through 4-H programs. He helps organize events like the upcoming Luhman Ranch Shoot, an archery fundraiser aimed at supporting North Dakota 4-H Ambassadors’ statewide activities, including conferences, retreats, and service projects. The event welcomes participants of all ages and skill levels, with discounted rates for 4-H members, and features lifelike 3-D targets, prizes, and concessions.

Luhman Ranch, a gift from Tammy Luhman in honor of her late husband Dale, serves as a dedicated space for 4-H youth to train animals, hold meetings, and participate in various agricultural and recreational activities. The ranch symbolizes a lasting legacy of community support for 4-H, providing a venue for youth to develop skills, creativity, and friendships. Tammy’s donation ensures that 4-H members have a permanent home for their events and growth, reflecting the organization’s positive impact on generations of young people in North Dakota.
