Farmland Foods, which was acquired by Smithfield Foods, recognized the Nebraska FFA Association and its positive impact in the community and across the state through a check donation of $5,000.
The gift is part of the 2021 Honoring the Heartland Tour, which is an initiative launched by Farmland in June to show appreciation for the work and commitment in Midwest farming communities, agriculture industries, and retail establishments, and to support the next generation of farmers.
In addition to supporting local farming and agriculture communities, Farmland is simultaneously working to keep these neighborhoods strong by alleviating hunger.
In its efforts, the brand is partnering with Hy-Vee to help fight food insecurity across Omaha through a donation of more than 40,000 pounds of protein to the Food Bank for the Heartland. This is the equivalent of more than 160,000 servings of protein
