GreenStone Employees Invest in the Future of Agriculture through the Michigan Livestock Expo and Wisconsin FFA Donations As a strong advocate for the agricultural industry, GreenStone continuously demonstrates its mission of cultivating future agricultural leaders. Thanks to an engaged team of employees, the cooperative once again joined forces with the premier youth livestock show, Michigan Livestock Expo, and two of Wisconsin’s northeastern FFA Chapters to raise dollars for youth!
Employee donations will be pooled to purchase livestock at the Michigan Livestock Expo Sale-abration and donated to one of two local Wisconsin FFA Chapters n Mishicot and New London. This year, GreenStone employees proudly donated $2,200 to these outstanding youth in agriculture.
