Ness County Farm Bureau “Producers with Purpose”
The goal of the Producers with Purpose program is to provide high-quality, locally raised beef to area schools and senior centers throughout the year. To achieve their goal, the Farm Bureau intends to raise funds through grants, local business sponsorships, county contributions, and donated beef. This program will not only provide better, more nutritious food to our schools and seniors, but supports economic activity across farmers, suppliers, retailers, and service providers. A stronger and more stable local economy promotes healthier households and businesses. Producers with Purpose is accepting both financial donations to cover processing costs as well as live animal donations.
