Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (3)
- The cattle industry is an important economic driver in St Lucie County. St. Lucie County Farm Bureau held the annual Cattle Extravaganza. 4-H and FFA students had the opportunity to show their project and learn valuable life skills such as a strong work ethic, time management, responsibility, and dealing with different personalities. Proceeds from the event were used to provide students with scholarship opportunites to continue their education. We used this event to promote agriculture and work towards the betterment of those engaged in agriculture.
- We foster and encourage youth involvement in agriculture. We promote the success of our future agricultural leaders by awarding scholarships to students who are majoring in an agriculture related field.
- Mini Grants are awarded to teachers who have an interest in incorporating agricultural related lessons to their curriculum. These grants help teachers expand their ongoing educational efforts to bring an awareness of agriculture to the youth in our county. The Mini Grant program increases the level of support for the value of agriculture in schools. Grants were issued to teachers in local schools with projects that would increase understanding of agriculture among students and teachers.
