Georgia grower expands retail promotion supporting scholarships
G&R Farms is excited to continue the “Growing America’s Farmers” (GAF) program with regional and national retailers looking to not only grow sales, but support scholarships for Future Farmers of America (FFA) students planning careers in production agriculture.
GAF is the brainchild of Walt Dasher, a third-generation southeast Georgia farmer and a strong advocate of FFA. Thanks to past retail partnerships, this program has helped raised more than $150,000 for FFA member scholarships. As it enters its sixth year, G&R is expanding the program to add more consumer-based initiatives such as geotargeting and social content, as well as deeper interaction with FFA members and potential partnerships with other commodities and brands.
