Agriculture Education Grant

The mission of the Agriculture Education & Classroom Equipment Grant Program is to support agriculture education by funding programs and equipment for middle and high schools in Compeer Financial’s territory.
 
Hands-on learning and new technologies are crucial to showing students the limitless potential of agriculture. This grant program is designed to help fund agricultural education and classroom equipment so students have access to modern resources to broaden their perspective of the rapidly changing agricultural industry.
