LEE COUNTY – Lee County farmer Karen McCoy, directed $2,500 to Amboy FFA through America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Bayer Fund. As part of their mission the organization will use the funds to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Celebrating its 10th year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities partners with farmers to support nonprofit organizations strengthening rural communities. The program offers farmers the chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a nonprofit of their choice. It has awarded more than $33 million to over 8,000 nonprofits across rural America.

“A better life is Bayer’s goal. Farmers are invested in their communities, they root for their neighbors, and they know when and where there is a need,” said Al Mitchell, Vice President Corporate Engagement, Bayer. “Farmers are one of America’s best resources, which is why Grow Communities partners with them to direct donations to the organizations they are passionate about and that make a positive impact and a better life in communities.”
