Buffett challenges farmers

The Howard G. Buffett Foundation not only has a campaign to save soil, the Foundation also works at the local level to address hunger.

Speaking at the Purdue Ag Alumni Fish Fry on Saturday, February 4, Buffett challenged farmers to do their part and donate the proceeds from 1 acre to their local food bank.

“Who better than American farmers to set an example for other Americans and show the importance of helping those in their own community,” Buffett said. “No farmer would allow their neighbor to starve and yet someone close to us, everyone sitting here, when you go home in every one of our communities someone is going hungry.”
