This year's recipients of our Bushels for Hunger basket donations are Needy Basket of Southern Miami County and First Place Food Pantry! Thank you to all the farmers who made crop donations in service to others. We are so appreciative to be part of such a giving community.

If you are interested in making a donation this harvest season, just let them know at the Troy Elevator that you would like to share a bushel of your beans, wheat, or corn. Our friends at the Mennel Milling Company make it easy to give back! All proceeds go to support local food pantries in the county on a rotating annual basis. Every harvest season looks different and we truly appreciate all our farmers do!
