Competitors from Buchanan and Andrew counties have won the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program. The Buchanan County Ag Expo Center and the North Andrew FFA will benefit.

The program enrolls farmers for a chance to win $2,500, which is then donated to the farmer’s nonprofit of choice.

Jerry Knadler selected Buchanan County Agri-Business Expo Center Inc. to receive the donation. Mrs. Amanda Smith of Andrew County selected North Andrew FFA to receive the $2,500.

A check presentation is scheduled Tuesday at North Andrew High School, and on Wednesday at the Office of the Ag Expo Center at 224 North 7th Street.

Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program is part of the America’s Farmers initiative, which highlights the important contributions farmers make every day. For a complete list of Grow Communities winners and more program information, please visit GrowCommunities.com.
