PEMBERVILLE - American Legion's Freedom Post 183 Calf Club and Eastwood FFA will now be able to better serve the community, thanks to the support of local farmers, Ryan and Kristine Buchman from R&R Buchman Farms, and America's Farmers Grow Communities.
Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company, Grow Communities provides farmers in eligible counties the chance to win a $2,500 donation for a local nonprofit organization of their choice.
To further support counties declared natural disaster areas by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) due to drought this year, winning farmers in these counties are able to direct double donations, a total of $5,000.
Wood County was declared a disaster area by the USDA, giving the Buchman's the opportunity to choose two organizations to receive $2,500 donations. They chose American Legion's Freedom Post 183 Calf Club and Eastwood FFA.
