tomorrow.” Our mission statement is still going strong today, thanks to the

program.

The future of Agriculture depends on educated consumers, installing
agriculture knowledge at a young age will insure informed consumers, decisions,
and discussion down the road.
With your support our Foundation can continue to grow the knowledge
of agriculture in LaSalle County.
Please note we are coordinating this effort with the IAA Foundation,
Illinois Farm Bureau charitable arm. While donation receipts will list IAA
Foundation, LaSalle County Farm Bureau Foundation will receive 100% of net
funds raised to support our Foundation Mission statement.
