2021 FAIR BOOK

Iowa Youth Code Of Ethics Youth are expected to be sincere, honest and act in sportsmanlike ways at all Ɵmes. Youth represent the enƟre program and their behavior reŇects on their parents, leaders, club and the enƟre youth program. All adults involved with the youth program, leaders as well as parents, are expected to set posiƟve examples and serve as posiƟve role models by what they say and do. Any youth who breaks the code of ethics or allows another person (adult or peer) to talk them into violaƟng the code of ethics agrees to forfeit all prizes, awards and premiums. The youth may also be prohibited from exhibiƟng at this and future exhibiƟons including the Iowa State Fair and other county, state or regional exhibiƟons. 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 wriƟng of exhibit explanaƟons, preparing exhibits (such as sewing, cooking, reĮnishing, 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 representaƟon of my work. Any aƩempt to take credit for other’s work, alter the conformaƟon of animals, or alter their performance is prohibited. Copyright violaƟon or allowing others to complete your exhibit is considered misrepresentaƟon 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 consumpƟon. All food exhibits will be safe to exhibit and for judges to evaluate. Other exhibits will be safe for judges to evaluate and for exhibiƟon. 5. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for consumers, and shall have met all withdrawal Ɵmes for all medicaƟons, and be free of violaƟve drug residue. 6. If any animal requires medical treatment while at the fair or exhibiƟon, only a licensed veterinarian may administer the treatment. All medicaƟons that are administered shall be done according to the label instrucƟons of the medicaƟon used. 7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including medicaƟons, external applicaƟons and surgical procedures. Any animal that is found to have changed its appearance or its performance shall be disqualiĮed from the show, and have penalƟes assessed against the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian by the management of the fair or exhibiƟon. 8. I will follow all ownership and possession rules and, if requested, will provide the necessary documentaƟon. 9. I will follow all livestock health requirements for this fair or exhibiƟon, according to the state health requirements as printed in the premium book of the fair or exhibiƟon. I will provide animal health cerƟĮcates from a licensed veterinarian upon request from the management of the fair or exhibiƟon. 10. By my entering an animal in this fair or exhibiƟon, I am giving consent to the management of the fair or exhibiƟon to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in tesƟng. 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 quesƟon, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collecƟon and preservaƟon, 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 quesƟon and correctly reŇects the condiƟon of the animal at the Ɵme 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 exhibiƟon I will accept any disciplinary acƟon taken by the management of this fair or exhibiƟon for any violaƟon of this code of ethics and any other rules of compeƟƟon of the fair or exhibiƟon without recourse against the fair or exhibiƟon. 12.I want my exhibit to be an example of how to accept what life has to oīer, 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 acƟviƟes while parƟcipaƟng in 4ͲH 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 acƟons will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am expected to represent the program in a posiƟve manner. I have read, understand and agree to follow this code of ethics, and any other rules of compeƟƟon of the fair or exhibiƟon as printed in its premium book.
