Another great Missouri State Fair is in the books—and we were proud to support two programs that demonstrate the strength of Missouri agriculture and the partnerships behind it.

As a sponsor of Missouri Farmers Care Foundation’s Drive to Feed Kids, The Poultry Federation helped support an effort that provided 825,196 meals for Missouri children and families facing hunger.

We were also honored to support Missouri’s next generation of agricultural leaders through the Sale of Champions. Congratulations to Judd Lawson of Schell City, who exhibited the Grand Champion Pen of Chickens, purchased by The Poultry Federation for $5,100 alongside Youth in Agriculture and hometown supporters.

These programs are powerful examples of what can be accomplished when Missouri agriculture works together—supporting our neighbors, investing in young people and strengthening communities across the state.
