Thank you to the Decatur Rotary Club #180 for selecting the MCFB Foundation as a $1,000 grant recipient. Funds will support the 2022 Agucation event, which will host over 500 area fifth graders in May to show them ag careers, machinery, farm animals, and more! It is support such as this that allows Ag in the Classroom and our scholarship program to thrive each year. Again, many thanks for your support!
