Suzy Earl of Warsaw has been selected as a winner in America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by The Monsanto Fund.

Grow Communities gives farmers the opportunity to win $2,500 donation to direct to their favorite non-profit organizations. To further support counties that have been declared disaster areas due to the drought by the USDA winning farmers in these counties were able to direct double the donation, for a total of $5,000 to further support the community.

Kosciusko County was declared a disaster area by the USDA, giving Earl the opportunity to place two $2,500 donations. Earl selected The Salvation Army in Warsaw and The Beaman Home.
