Iowa Farmers Can Extend Community Support
Through New Monsanto Award Program
America’s Farmers Grow Communities Project
to Give $2,500 Awards in all 99 Iowa Counties
ST. LOUIS (Dec. 23, 2009) – Iowa farmers can kick off the new year by applying
for an award to help a non-profit organization in their community that’s dear to their
heart. The award is available through Monsanto’s America’s Farmers Grow
Communities™ Project, a new pilot program being offered throughout Iowa and in parts
of Missouri and Arkansas. Through the program, farmers can direct a $2,500 award to a
local non-profit organization that’s important to them and their community.
The program is intended to benefit non-profit community groups such as ag
youth organizations, schools and other civic groups. Farmers can apply online or
request a copy of the official rules of the award program at www.growcommunities.com,
by calling 1.877.267.3332 or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to
America’s Farmers Grow Communities Project, 914 Spruce St., St. Louis, Mo. 63102.
Farmers, age 21 and over, who are actively involved in producing a minimum of
250 acres of corn, soybeans and/or cotton are eligible. The application period runs from
Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, 2010. The program is open to all qualifying farmers, and there is
no purchase requirement. In Iowa, one winner will be drawn from each of the state’s 99
counties. Monsanto will announce winning farmers and recipient organizations they
chose in March 2010.
“Farmers in Iowa and across America work hard to feed, fuel and clothe our
country and the world,” said John Raines, Vice President of Customer Advocacy for
Monsanto. “As a company whose only business is agriculture, we want to work together
with farmers to help them grow their local communities through the America’s Farmers
Grow Communities Project.”
The pilot program is part of a broad commitment by Monsanto to highlight the
important contributions farmers make every day to our society by reinvesting in their
local communities. The company also recently launched a national advertising
campaign to build greater consumer awareness about the importance of U.S.
agriculture, its economic impact and advances in preserving our vital natural resources.
In addition, Monsanto, as one of the sponsors of America’s Heartland, aired
nationally on public television stations and RFD-TV, is helping educate consumers
through first-person farm stories on the vital contributions of the American farmer. The
program is in its fifth season.
An Ida County woman was honored at the Iowa Farm Bureau Annual convention.
Ida County farmer Dee Ann Paulsrud has won the 2009 Iowa Farm Bureau Woman in Agriculture Award. The yearly contest honors one woman who demonstrates outstanding leadership abilities in agriculture and stands out from her peers in the promotion and education of agriculture. The announcement was made at the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) annual meeting in Des Moines on Dec. 2. Paulsrud’s recognition includes a plaque, a $250 cash prize and up to $500 to cover expenses for an Iowa conference for women.
Dee Ann and her husband, Ted, raise corn, soybeans, alfalfa and cattle on their farm near Danbury. They have five children. Raised a “town girl,” Dee Ann joined the Ida County Farm Bureau with her husband in 1971. Since then, she has served the county, state, and national organization in various roles, including president, vice president and secretary of the Ida County Farm Bureau board.
Paulsrud’s efforts to serve agriculture and her community have earned recognition from Farm Bureau (including the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award), her home parish, Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and U.S. Rep. Steve King. Dee Ann and Ted were also recently honored by the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City, for their role in reviving Iowa’s “Beef’n Up the Troops” campaign (http://flickr.twi.bz/Ob). Known as “the Beef Stick Lady,” Dee Ann has helped send a total of 75,000 beef sticks over the past three years to Iowa troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and other military bases overseas.
