Program Encourages Farmers to Donate an Acre to End Hunger

A program to help end food insecurity in America is encouraging farmers to donate an acre to help end hunger. Invest an Acre program, sponsored by ADM, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Monsanto and Feeding America, asks farmers across the nation to donate one acre or more of crops to fight hunger in their own communities. According to the organization’s website, on average, every bushel of corn donated will create 18 meals, while every bushel of soybeans will create 40 meals. All proceeds are tax deductible and will benefit local food banks. Learn more.
