Norman County Corn & Soybean Growers Donate To Area Food Shelves

Two food shelves in Norman County got a boost recently from the Norman County Soybean and Corn Growers.  The growers donated meat to the Good Samaritan Food Shelf in Twin Valley and the Norman County Food Shelf in Ada.  Austen Germolus, vice president of the Norman County Soybean and Corn Growers, talks about the donation.

Germolus tells us what was donated.

In all, they donated 80 pounds of ground beef, two cases of chicken and two cases of bacon valued at $475.  Germolus says there’s a connection between poultry, pork, beef and soybeans.

The money to pay for the food donation came from the soybean checkoff program, which requires all soybean producers pay a fee on the soybeans they sell.
