FFA donation

The Crestview FFA will receive a $2,500 donation on behalf of local farmer Jill Bowen. Bowen, who won the money through the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, selected Crestview’s FFA program as the beneficiary of the money. FFA members, in turn, plan to use the donation to provide food for the Convoy Area Food Bank. America’s Farmers Grow Communities works directly with farmers to support nonprofit organizations doing important work in rural communities. Shown at a check presentation ceremony are (from the left) Dick and Jill Bowen, Crestview FFA members Jacob Germann, Scott Miller, and Marissa Walters, and Monsanto representative Brittani McEvoy.
