The Henry County Farm Bureau Foundation is holding a freezer meal fundraiser to raise funds for the educational programs of the Foundation. This is just an amazing opportunity not only to help support the future farmers of America but also to help families enjoy a well-prepared meal after a long day of work. Interested? The deadline for orders is September 9, 2024, and pick-up is October 7th at the office from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The Henry County Farm Bureau will be participating in National Farm Safety & Health Week (Sept. 15th–Sept. 21st). Our very own FFA chapters throughout the county will be putting on a safety display contest, which will take place throughout the week to promote safety for farmers and their families! Also, before the kick-off of our National Farm Safety & Health Week, the Henry County Farm Bureau, along with the help of Trooper Wilson of the Illinois State Police, and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a Drivers Safety event being held on Sept. 12th. The “Share-The-Road” program is an amazing opportunity for new drivers to get exposure and understanding of how to safely & effectively operate while on the road.
