The Knoxville FFA chapter is taking part in a “Feed the Farmer” event on Saturday, October 9th. During this event, Knoxville FFA members will deliver a meal cooked by the Marion County Cattlemen to farmers who are in the field for the harvest. Junior Secretary Bailey Finken says this is a great way for the FFA to be involved in the community and to help farmers have a smoother day in the field.

“They want to keep going and not have to stop. Having someone bring them their meal makes their work go that much faster so they can eat their meal for the day.”

The meal consists of a hamburger, chips, cookie, and water. Meals will be delivered on Saturday, October 9th at noon to the location specified in registration. The deadline for farmers to sign up is Friday, October 1st. Click here to register.
