GreenStone Farm Credit Services Invests in Agricultural Education by Supporting Farm Bureau Pavilion Expansion at MSU

Michigan State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) announced a gift agreement with GreenStone Farm Credit Services, a member-owned rural lender based in East Lansing, Michigan.

GreenStone’s contribution will directly support the future expansion of the Farm Bureau Pavilion, a high-traffic venue that hosts more than 100 agricultural, youth and commercial events annually. The facility welcomes over 100,000 visitors each year and contributes more than $7 million to the local economy.

Planned upgrades to the Farm Bureau Pavilion include the addition of a second indoor arena and expanded exhibition space, enabling concurrent events and enhancing the facility’s role as a center for agricultural innovation, education and community engagement.
