ADM Cares continues support of local Ag in the Classroom program
Many thanks to ADM Cares, ADM’s corporate social investment program, for its recent donation of $15,000 to the Macon County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom program. It has continually been a supporter of the program and along with that support comes the ability to reach over 10,000 area students annually. The program offers classroom presentations, free materials, teacher workshops, and more, at no cost each and every year because of this support. Thank you again to ADM Cares!
