The Duchesne County Farm Bureau and the Utah Farm Bureau's 'Miracle of Agriculture Foundation' partnered with local energy production and service businesses at the Duchesne County Junior Livestock show to support local agriculture and provide needed food to the county’s food bank.
These local businesses generously donated nearly $11,000 in cash and purchased nine animals from the Junior Livestock show to support food pantries across the Uintah Basin.
“This really is a great opportunity to work with these local businesses and see how they support their communities. From helping youth raise these animals to seeing them stay in the community and feed families in need, it’s a full-circle moment that makes you feel great,” said Clayton Beckstead, Executive Director of the Utah Farm Bureau’s ‘Miracle of Agriculture Foundation. “These businesses paid for these animals at the livestock show and then donated them and additional funds to us so we could get them processed locally. Then we work with them and the County Farm Bureau to connect with the food bank and give them the meat they are in dire need of."
