Floyd Lowry of Lowndes County was the selected farmer in the America’s Farmers Grow Communities contest, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, which gives farmers the opportunity to be randomly chosen to win $2,500 for their favorite local nonprofit organizations. He recognized the need for children to have access to agriculture and directed the donation to Palmer Home for Children.
The organization will use the donation to purchase a mini-tiller, garden tools and other supplies for its greenhouses.
