There's only two weeks left for farmers in the community to enroll in the Bayer Fund's America's Farmers Grow Communities program! Through Nov. 1, this program encourages eligible farmers to enroll for the chance to direct $5,000 donations to local eligible nonprofits, schools or ag programs.
America’s Farmers programs have awarded $65 million to thousands of nonprofits, schools and ag students across rural America since its inception in 2010.
To enroll for a chance to direct a donation, check out @AmericasFarmers website for more info: www.americasfarmers.com or call 1-877-267-3332 toll-free. It only takes a few minutes to potentially make an impact for a rural nonprofit or school in your area.
