Earlier this summer, a group of Agribusiness Field Managers and Underwriters from our Lancaster, Pennsylvania office volunteered their time at an annual event sponsored by a local business. The event, Farm Family Days, http://oregondairy.com/familyfarmdays.asp, draws a crowd of over 12,000 each year with the fun activities including pony rides, barrel rides (driven by a garden tractor), a straw tunnel, tractor rides and some informational and fun sessions to learn more about agriculture. Also, yummy food and treats are readily available.
I asked each of our staff members what they enjoyed most about the event and why they volunteered their time. Here is what they said:
- To meet new people
- Share discussions about agriculture
- Give back to the community
- Drive a tractor
- Wagon rides
- Educate children about farm life
