Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Recognizing Farmers Through Heroes of Hope Campaign

Friday, April 30th, 2021 -- 8:01 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is recognizing farmers through its Heroes of Hope campaign.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, the program aims to shed light on rural heroes who have helped others through a challenging time.  Some examples of these good deeds include helping harvest crops, providing positivity in day-to-day work, uplifting other farmers to get through a demanding planting or harvest season.

Heroes of Hope hopes to identify people who have helped bring hope to farmers or businesses, in large or small ways. Members of the agriculture community are encouraged to nominate individuals who have made an impact on the way they conduct business, ordinarily and extraordinarily.

Heroes of Hope will recognize five farmers who have helped a neighbor with generous prize packages donated from local sponsors. These heroes will share their stories in Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Rural Route magazine.

Nominations will be accepted May 1-21 and winners will be announced on May 28.  Nominations can be submitted to wfbf.com/farm-neighbors-care-campaign/heroes-of-hope.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
