COUNTRY Financial® to Thank Farmers this Fall with Feed a Farmer Activities 

COUNTRY Financial® is launching its annual Feed a Farmer activities this fall to recognize and thank farmers for their vital contributions to agriculture and local communities. 

Key takeaways

  • COUNTRY Financial will thank farmers for their hard work by providing free meals at local Feed a Farmer events in September and October where the company serves farm clients (Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington). 
  • Some COUNTRY representatives will partner with their local county farm bureau, FFA or other local ag organizations to provide meals and an opportunity for farmers to connect with one another at a public location. Others will deliver meals to the farmers in the field. 
  • The first 15 farmers to attend each event may receive a free cooler bag.

“This time of year represents the result of months of planning, hard work, and determination for farmers across our communities. We want to take a moment to recognize their efforts, celebrate the important role they play, and express our sincere appreciation for all they do,” said Lindsey Rinkenberger, Director, Agribusiness and Commercial Underwriting at COUNTRY.
