2024 Winner: Fromberg FFA

The Fromberg FFA chapter recently received $10,000 from ACH Seeds’ 2024 Homegrown Giving program. This donation will be instrumental in constructing a new livestock barn, enhancing agricultural education opportunities, supporting both the expansion of skill-building projects and potential membership growth.

The local FFA chapter has made a significant impact in its small rural community. With just eight dedicated FFA members, they have contributed much to the local area. Their mission is to prepare the next generation for careers in agriculture, focusing on hands-on experiences and practical skills.

The FFA chapter’s impact on the Fromberg community is profound. From growing lettuce in their hydroponics system for the school’s lunch program to offering garden plants to families in need, their initiatives are diverse and essential.

ACH Seeds district manager Steve Skaalure hands off the $10,000 check to ag teacher Jennifer Birrer and nominator Tanya Dorvall.

The FFA students mentor younger children in the classrooms, providing them with extra assistance and leadership examples.

Chapter president Annika Birrer uses the woodshop equipment to create handmade wooden crates for their Montana basket fundraiser.

Hear from the Winner

This donation is incredibly significant for us. It’s great to see that there is a company like ACH Seeds out there that is willing to support small schools. The opportunities that will result from this donation will open many doors for our students.
