Farm Credit Mid-America invests in Ivy Tech

Farm Credit Mid-America is making a big investment into Ivy Tech Community College agriculture programs.  Lori Tennell, regional vice president with Farm Credit in central Indiana says the company is excited about the opportunity to invest into the program.  “It’s a perfect blend, really, of our interests in agriculture, our commitment to youth, and then the educational piece,” she says.  “It’s an awesome opportunity for us to invest in what we think is important to us as a company.”

Tennell tells Brownfield the $60,000 contribution was made at the Columbus campus’ open house on March 27th.  “There are six campuses throughout Indiana that actually have an ag program,” she says.  “We’ll be giving $10,000 to each one of those programs.  They can use the funds to invest in their ag programs the best way they see fit.”
