Local farmer Calvin Thompson recently directed a $2,500 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to Glacial Lakes 4-H Rodeo Club. The Glacial Lakes 4-H Rodeo Club will use the funds to host a local 4-H rodeo and conduct arena improvements.

“This donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to complete much needed arena improvements along with hosting the 2022 local 4-H rodeo,” said Ben Hanson, Glacial Lakes 4-H Rodeo Club President.

Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded more than $59 million to nonprofits, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America. Farmers are leaders in their communities, which is why America’s Farmers programs rely on them to help identify the most worthy causes.
