Over the last few years, the local CASE-IH plant has made a commitment to “feed their own backyard” by partnering with local organizations that grow and distribute food. This has grown into a wonderful partnership between Case IH, Farm in the Dell, and the Great Plains Food Bank!
During the 2024 growing season, Case IH and Farm in the Dell have worked together to grow one acre of sweet corn and one acre of potatoes. A portion of the produce was distributed and sold to Farm in the Dell shareholders and customers during the growing season, supporting their mission of employing individuals with disabilities. The other portion of the produce was distributed through the Great Plains Food Bank to provide food to our neighbors facing food insecurity, supporting their mission of ending hunger together.
In September, all three organizations came together for a big Harvest Day, working together to support our unified goal of providing fresh and local food to the community. After the final harvest and produce distribution, 3,779 pounds of potatoes and 4,147 pounds of corn were donated to the Great Plains Food Bank – equaling 7,926 total pounds of produce.
Because all three organizations know that our community is at the heart of the work we do, we are thrilled to be able to enter into partnerships that allow us to give back and share the love that we are shown by our community each and every day!
