$6.6 Million Grant From John Deere will Help Feed Americans Facing Hunger

Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) today announced a $6.6 million, three-year commitment of unrestricted funding from the John Deere Foundation to Feeding America®. This grant reaffirms John Deere's commitment to hunger relief and supporting communities in need while honoring the work of farmers.

Hunger is solvable
More than 47 million Americans, including nearly 14 million children, face hunger each year.  At the same time, farmers grow enough food to feed everyone in the country. Some farmers are even burdened with excess crops that, if not left for waste (as 30% of food annually is), leads to detrimental costs in labor, storage, and transportation.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
