Monsanto Uping Donations In Disaster Areas

Monsanto Fund's expanding its America's farmers Grow Communities to give more support to drought disaster areas.

The Fund, which allows farmers to donate $2,500 to their favorite non-profit organization, will double its prize in areas declared natural disaster areas by the USDA. Over 90 percent of the US corn and soybean industry affected by the drought, Monsanto knows the help is needed.

Monsanto Fund President Deborah Patterson says its the funds goal to support farmers and rural communities, and they are hoping to have a positive impact on areas affected by the drought.

The Monsanto Fund's America's Farmers Grow Communities gives farmers a chance to nominate their favorite nonprofit organization or group to receive $2,500. Farmers can apply for the donation at growcommunities.com through Nov. 30.

Clinton's Dr. John Warner Hospital was a recipient of this award in 2011.
