— GIFTS FOR GROWERS — Finding the perfect present for the farmer in your life gets a whole lot easier with your Farm Bureau membership
H
oliday shopping for your favorite farmer can be a tall order since many are creatures of habit. Lots of farmers sport the same worn-in work clothes for years, use tools they’ve trusted for decades, or drive pickup trucks that may have been retirement-ready a generation ago. But, as a Virginia Farm Bureau member, finding the right gift for even the pickiest producers is easier thanks to the benefits that come with your annual membership.
Farm Bureau members in Virginia have access to discounts from brands and retailers such as Case IH, Caterpillar, Ford, Grainger, John Deere and Yamaha, as well as Virginia Farm Bureau Federation’s products warehouse. With this wide network of member benefits, finding a deal and spoiling the farmer in your life with new farming equipment, tools or an updated wardrobe has never been simpler.
Here are Virginia Farm Bureau’s top 10 favorite items for farmers this holiday season:
Virginia Farm Bureau tumbler Farming is hard work, and everyone knows it. It’s important to stay hydrated, so why not give farmers the option to take their beverage to-go in a Virginia Farm Bureau tumbler? Shop for the tumbler and other home goods on the Virginia Farm Bureau store, which can be found at vafb.com/ benefits.
Chore coat Work clothing has become a hot trend in mainstream fashion, but Virginia farmers actually put their attire to the test every day. There are few garments more flexible than a chore coat, and members can find savings on a new one or other work wear at Grainger.com.
Emergency or first-aid kit As handy as work gloves are, they can’t stop every nick and scrape. Firstaid kits, as well as kits for weatherrelated emergencies, can be purchased through Grainger.
Work gloves Just like a chore coat, a good pair of work gloves serves several purposes. They keep farmers’ hands protected from abrasions and cuts, hazardous materials, outdoor elements and more. Shop for a pair—or three—by browsing the products warehouse at products.vafb.com. 14
