Area farmers have the opportunity to help out their favorite local non-profit organization, thanks to the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program.

Sponsored by the Monsanto fund, Grow Communities ask farmers to nominate their favorite non-profit group, such as FFA chapters, schools, fire departments, food pantiries and civic groups.  The Monsanto Fund then selects one winner per county at random from each of the entries from eligible farmers, and awards their nominated organization $2,500.

New this year, winning farmers from counties that have been declared a natural disaster areas by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will have an opportunity to direct an additional $2,500 donation to a local non-profit to address the drought needs in their community.
