Last year, Howard Buffett challenged National Farmers Union members to donate 50-thousand dollars to Feeding America, and pledged to match every dollar donated through Farmers Union, up to that amount. This year Buffet presented NFU with a check for more than 55-thousand dollars at the opening night of its 110th Anniversary Convention in LaVista, Nebraska. According to Feeding America, 37-million Americans do not get enough to eat, including one-fourth of all children.

NFU President Roger Johnson says – as family farmers, ranchers, and rural community members, we are very well aware that many people, both in the United States and around the world, often go to bed hungry at night, and that’s a big concern for us. Farmers Union members really stepped up to meet Howard Buffett’s challenge and showed they really care about the less fortunate among us.
