scholarships

When it comes to agriculture, it’s time to think beyond crops. Think business.  Think communication. Think mechanics. Think fashion. You may be eligible for a Foundation scholarship.

agricultural education

Local agriculture plays an important role in our daily lives. Our agricultural-based educational resources bring agriculture into the classroom with the intent of creating a more informed consumer.

Invest today in developing tomorrow’s agricultural leaders. Donate to theWhiteside County Farm Bureau® Foundation and help create positive progression in our future.

What comes to mind when you think of agriculture?

Probably soil. Seeds. Growth. Crops. But agriculture means a lot more.

Agriculture touches every individual. It’s woven into every aspect of our economy, from the food safety standards that keep you healthy to the award-winning hyacinth in your backyard, from the cotton in your favorite golf shirt to the fuel in your hybrid. And it’s the number-one industry in Illinois.

As a result, agriculture requires leaders who have a passion for the community, technological innovation, and implementing the highest standards of safety. Whether you’rea student pursuing an agriculture degree or a donor who wants to give, it starts with you.

And that’s where the Whiteside County Farm Bureau® Foundation helps. Since our inception—and with the help of generous donors—we have provided over $42,000 to Whiteside County students as of 2016.
Impact the Foundation as you shop at smile.amazon.com.  Simply shop; select the Whiteside County Farm Bureau® Foundation as your charity of choice, and .5% percent of your purchase will be donated back to the Foundation.  Support Ag Education and the future of our industry as you shop for household goods, gifts and more!
