Harvest for All
The American Farm Bureau Federation's Young
Farmer & Rancher are working with Feeding America to help feed
the millions of Americans who face hunger through the Harvest for All
program.
Throughout the year, farmers across
the nation will be donating food, funds and people power to
create a hunger-free America. And whether the contribution
is a bushel - a dollar - or an hour, Farm Bureau and
Feeding America, in partnership with Syngenta, will
be working together to finish an important job - making sure
every American can enjoy the bounty produced on our farms
and ranches.
As you work
diligently to promote Farm Bureau programs in your county, please consider
helping folks who need and appreciate the safe, wholesome food from your
county’s farmers and ranchers. By collecting food items, monetary contributions
and volunteer hours worked towards the KFB YF&R Harvest for All program
you are contributing towards helping end hunger in our country.
Thank you for implementing Harvest for All activities in your county.
