Testimonials

MN 4-H is deeply grateful for the generous support of the Minnesota Foundation for Agriculture. Your investment in the MN 4-H Agriculture Ambassadors program makes a lasting difference by empowering high school youth leaders to share their passion for agriculture with elementary students across Minnesota.

Through your support, 4-H Agriculture Ambassadors are able to visit classrooms, engage students with hands-on learning, and spark curiosity about where their food comes from. These early connections not only build agricultural literacy but also inspire the next generation to see themselves as future growers, innovators, and leaders in agriculture.

Thank you for believing in our youth and helping us strengthen the bridge between today's young leaders and tomorrow's agricultural community.

The funds we have received have greatly expanded our ability to support FFA members as they explore and prepare for careers in agriculture. This investment not only strengthens their skills for the future but also empowers them to be strong advocates for agriculture in their communities.

Executive Director, Minnesota FFA Foundation

The Minnesota Farm Bureau Foundation's support has been instrumental in expanding the 4-H Agriculture Ambassador program. With the foundation's investment, we've been able to engage more youth leaders, strengthen their ability to share agriculture's story, and bring meaningful ag education to communities across Minnesota.

The partnership ensures that more young people are prepared to lead the future of agriculture.

It is easy to get caught up in the daily grind of medical school and forget that medicine, at its core, is about the people we service. Helping with health screenings and hearing stories from our rural communities has been a great way to refocus on why I was drawn to medicine in the first place!

The conversations that I had with community members at the regional farm show taught me about experiences that rural patients have had, as well as any barriers to care. I know that I am interested in pursuing a career in rural medicine and this experience has helped solidify that!

I believe in the mission of the Foundation and the way the organization utilizes funds for its members and community to benefit from. The Foundation provides opportunities and helps farmers advance in agriculture while connecting them to consumers.
