ONEIDA CO., N.Y. — Oneida County Farm Bureau was pleased to present two agricultural education programs with $500 each to help further their mission of making a positive difference of the lives of students through leadership, personal growth and career success. Remsen FFA and Waterville FFA were the recipients of funds raised from last year’s inaugural Ag Trivia Challenge Night. Oneida County Farm Bureau is committed to providing quality opportunities, programming and education for local youth and this event served as a fun way to raise funds while bringing the community together with their farmer neighbors.

Lohr. “We know the money will be put to good use towards essential items including Blue Jackets and tools to help these kids thrive. The county Farm Bureau raised over $3,500 from last year’s Ag Trivia Challenge that has been allocated to local FFA Chapters, 4-H programming, Ag Literacy and Oneida County Farm Fest. Lohr noted that they are looking forward to another successful challenge in December.
