Bates County Farm Bureau celebrates Thank A Farmer Month

Bates County Farm Bureau Federation recently donated agriculture books to seven county school libraries in conjunction with Thank a Farmer Month.

With each generation becoming further removed from the farm it is increasingly important to help people make the connection between farmers and their supply of food and fiber. The books were placed in libraries to help educate students about agriculture and bridge the gap between the farmer and them as consumers. Those schools receiving books were Adrian, Ballard, Butler, Hudson, Hume, Miami, and Rich Hill.
