Over 3,500 4-H members used the online record book system in 2011-2012, creating over 15,000 forms across various age groups. Some categories for state record book competition entries were proposed to be merged or renamed to reduce the total number of categories from 39 to 31 for 2012-2013. The plan was to make minor updates to the forms and guide, develop judging resources, improve the online system, and provide training workshops for staff on the changes.
