Abstract
"We are pleased with the response to our first year and look forward to building awareness and having many more farmers nominating groups or projects in their communities," said Trish Jordan, public and industry affairs director with Monsanto Canada. "We know there are endless needs in many rural communities and who better to give us ideas about how to best allocate these grants, than farmers? We know the grants will be put to good use to help strengthen local programs and services."
"Monsanto is fully committed to supporting rural communities and farmers across the country, whether providing them with great products that benefit their farming operation or offering our support to causes that matter to them," said Trish Jordan, public and industry affairs director with Monsanto Canada. "The Monsanto Fund grants provided to the Canada's Farmers Grow Communities program allow farmers to get actively involved and they are a great complement to our other corporate giving activities in rural Canada."
