Program areas at Farmers Union Foundation

Educated the general public on the history of farm cooperatives. We strived to do this through published and printed materials, offering various education seminars and staffing booths at various fairs and events throughout the state of Minnesota. This was primarily done by providing summer camps for youth designed to introduce them to the history of farming and the role farm cooperatives play in agriculture; hosting seminars and conferences on current issues facing agriculture and cooperatives, and by publishing a mn cooks calendar that highlighted agriculture in Minnesota and provided recipes from local residents using Minnesota grown products.
