Brady and I are involved in the Tipton County Young Farmers Group. As the next generation of agricultural leaders in our area, we strive to serve our community, and to promote policies that are good for society, farm operators, and land owners.
One way we are serving our community this year is "Hoppers for the Hungry". 10% of Hoosiers go to bed hungry every night. Farmers in Indiana are truly blessed and who better to solve hunger in our state than farmers?
The program allows farmers to donate all or a portion of a hopper of grain to a local food bank. Anyone can participate; just tell the elevator that you want the value of those bushels to go towards Hoppers for the Hungry. The donation is transferred into the charity’s name and is sold at the end of the day for the cash price. 100% of the donation goes directly to the food bank. Farm operations who participate will get the tax benefit, but more importantly they will make a difference in the lives of some hungry Hoosiers.
Cargill and Co-Alliance in Tipton will be participating in the program; all donations will be going to the Encore Food Bank.
Tell all your farmer friends!
