🏃 Hosting a “Thank a Farmer Run” to personally visit and thank local farms
🎁 Hand-delivering care packages to brighten long winter days
🍕 Bringing farmers together for pizza, camaraderie and conversations
🎓 Sending care packages to collegiate ag students to bridge the gap between campus and home
🎉 Hosting Farm City events to connect rural and non-farm communities
🧠 Providing mental health resources and even wrapping a sheriff’s vehicle to raise awareness

We are celebrating Wisconsin Farm Bureau volunteers activating programs that create informed consumers, engaged leaders and strong farmers at a local level.

Milwaukee County Farm Bureau has sponsored projects at Vincent High School of Agricultural Sciences since 2018. Recently, the school added a new animal science complex with a classroom and attached barn, where the students learn about small and large animals. Throughout the year, students host a Holiday Market, Fish Fry and Ag-Ventures with a pancake breakfast, baby goat yoga and plant sale. Students get the opportunity to volunteer at Ag Discovery Day and even show animals at the Wisconsin State Fair, all possible with donations from the Milwaukee County Farm Bureau.

Thank you, Milwaukee County Farm Bureau, for supporting Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom Program initiatives in your community!
