310

ANSONIA – On Monday, October 7th, the Ansonia FFA set out to find local farmers in the fields for their Fuel Up in the Fields activity. Fuel Up in the Fields is when the students go out into the fields to feed the farmers.

They gave away 24 meals that contained 2 sandwiches, chips, an apple, a dessert, and water. They also gave away safety kits for each piece of equipment the farmers had. Some of the families they fed included; the Rowlands, the Schlechtys, the McGriffs, and many more.

Thank you to all of the farmers who work endlessly to provide food and clothing for the nation. Did you know that 99% of the farms in the U.S. are family-owned?
