HURON (KELO AM) - Each year, more than 3,000 rural youth participate in Farmers Union education programming. To help fund that programming, Gene Hammond recently donated $5,000 to the Farmers Union Foundation endowment.
"This is something I can do to support the rural way of life and the next generation," says Hammond.
Hammond lives near Brandon and has been a Farmers Union member since 1983.
As the owner of Traveler's Motor Club, Hammond works with rural citizens and their families on a daily basis. He says that Farmers Union shares his philosophy of working to support rural America. "I encourage other stakeholders to give back to their rural communities and youth by donating to this endowment," Hammond says.
