John Dillman, Betaseed regional sales manager, presented a check for $300 to the Scottsbluff, Neb., FFA group on Oct. 31.
Betaseed hosted the annual Progressive Agriculture Safety Day in September at which 15 members of the group volunteered their time. More than 140 students from local schools in the Gering, Neb., area took part in hands-on safety demonstrations and educational training activities. The FFA students acted as group leaders and time keepers and were extremely helpful in running the event.
“We really appreciated the FFA students help with this event and hope the day was beneficial for them too,” Dillman said.
The Progressive Agriculture Foundation is dedicated to supporting youth agricultural programs. It’s the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America.
