Gleaning Effort Yields Tons of Watermelons, Promotes Healthy Eating in Schools

 
A gleaning effort by the Bladen County FSA in Elizabethtown, N.C., provided more than two tons of crimson sweet watermelons that will be donated to the students and staff at the Elizabethtown Primary and Middle schools. Local farmer, Jeff Simpson, donated the melons by allowing FSA employees to glean his fields in an effort to help promote healthy eating in the schools.
