Marti Deyo is still moving into her new position and office at the Malheur Extension Office, but on Friday was busy preparing for a planning session with local 4-H leaders.
Deyo, 39, took over the position of 4-H program coordinator/youth development, for the Oregon State University Extension Service in Maheur County on Feb. 15. Already, she is planning an assessment with 4-H leaders, members, 4-H alumni and other members of the community to discuss needs in the program and in the community to plan the direction of the program.
Born and raised in Orofino, Idaho, Deyo said she was involved in 4-H as a club member for nine years and was involved in just about every 4-H project there was at the time, except animals. One year she had 13 projects, she said.

Farmers and ranchers deal with overwhelming stress from market fluctuations, crop failures, the vagaries of weather, injuries and other setbacks that can lead to depression and too often suicide.
Farmers commit suicide twice as much as the general population – 36 per 10,000 people rather than 18 per 10,000, according to the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention. And farmer suicide is on the rise.
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) – a new program from Oregon State University Extension Service – teaches farmers, ranchers and their family and friends how to interrupt the process that leads to suicide, according to Cassie Bouska, assistant professor in the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences.
