The Delaware Farm Bureau received national recognition in January for its support of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture.

The Scholar Award was presented during the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention in January to the top Farm Bureaus with the highest total donations to the Foundation within their membership group, including the Delaware Farm Bureau.  

The organization also received an Apex Award honoring state Farm Bureaus which have increased their total contributions to the Foundation by 10% or more over the previous year, according to AFBF.  

"In spite of everything that has happened over the last year, this award shows just how dedicated the membership of our Delaware Farm Bureau is to educating our communities about agriculture,” DEFB President Richard Wilkins said. “Our farmers and ranchers help carry us through this pandemic every day and the Foundation helps enhance their roles in our community through education and community support. Our membership knows that those elements are critical to the future successes of the agriculture industry, and it shows thanks to the Scholar Award."
