AROUND THE STATE

Anamoose-Drake Elementary students recently learned about Farmers Union Camp and the nutritional value of beef in a joint presentation by NDFU and Dakota Angus LLC members. Students also received t-shirts that were worn in a color run to celebrate the last day of school. This event was put together by Amanda Olson, Farm to School Specialist at N.D. Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) and Ashley Bruner (speaking at left), family rancher at Bruner Angus Ranch.

The event was sponsored in part through NDFU’s Kommunity Kids program, where youth can earn a donation to an organization within their community by sharing information about the Farmers Union Youth Program. The donation must be used to purchase an item(s) that has the NDFU logo displayed on it.
