Grants available for 4-H, FFA members

Grant funds are available for 4-H and FFA members through Premier Farm Credit’s Generating Rural Opportunities program.

“This is a great chance for youth that are currently in 4-H or FFA and those who would like to be,” said Jaimee Mollohan, vice president of marketing and communications. “Last year’s grant recipients told us that they were more successful and able to participate in projects that had previously been out of their reach because of the GRO program.”

Through the GRO program, Premier Farm Credit will annually award a select number of nonrenewable grants (which do not have to be repaid) to 4-H and FFA members with agricultural and/or livestock projects.

This grant money is to be exclusively used for expenses associated with the member’s project. Award recipients will also receive age-appropriate financial mentorship and education from Premier Farm Credit. In return, these individuals will provide PFC with updates and accurate records as requested.
