R.D. Offutt Co. & Offutt Family Foundation Announce 54 Community Builder Grants

R.D. Offutt Company and Offutt Family Foundation announce 54 Community Builder grants, supporting healthcare, education and community development organizations. Altogether, $314,200 was awarded to 54 recipients.  

The Offutt Family Foundation Community Builder program is a unique initiative designed for R.D. Offutt Company team members to nominate local nonprofits for grants. It supports team members' commitment to investing in their own communities. Jessi Zenker, Offutt Family Foundation program manager, says RDO team members demonstrate dedication through their rich and diverse applications.  

“Each year, the causes team members advocate for and the stories they share create ripple effects through their communities and RDO as a whole,” Zenker said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to understand how so many RDO team members are giving back to their communities, and then sharing about and supporting these causes is a privilege.”

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
